Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Master Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, the current mass notification system has documented coverage gaps and suffered a security incident, and exercises and audits remain undocumented — creating critical compliance and operational risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes increased Emergency Management allocations, and federal grant programs including EMPG, HSGP, and NGWS align directly with this initiative. Acting now addresses active compliance gaps, reduces resident risk, and leverages available funding before the next cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing web portals and digital services by April 2027. Identified document accessibility gaps and reliance on a third-party platform create legal exposure and risk inequitable access to public services for residents.
The opportunity
The April 2027 federal deadline is firm and non-negotiable, making early action critical to avoid legal liability and service disruption. A proposed FY 2026–27 IT budget increase provides a favorable funding environment to advance this strategic initiative ahead of the compliance deadline.
Strengthen Credential Security & Identity Management
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent cyberattack exposed critical gaps in credential security and identity management practices, leaving the organization vulnerable to unauthorized access. Without structured controls in place, staff accounts and sensitive systems remain at elevated and ongoing risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget reflects a $413,079 increase in IT spending, and grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP align with cybersecurity initiatives, creating a timely funding pathway. Acting within this budget cycle reduces breach exposure, supports compliance, and strengthens public trust in city operations.
Fire Fleet Telematics & Safety Verification
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department operates a substantial emergency fleet with no dash cameras or telematics systems, creating a critical gap in evidence documentation and claims verification. Rising citywide self-insurance premiums signal growing risk pool pressure, while active safety and electrification initiatives remain unsupported by real-time fleet data.
The opportunity
A funded Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and fleet electrification initiative create a timely, aligned entry point for telematics adoption within the current budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use by the city can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
With annual IT and software spend exceeding $6.1 million and a proposed $413,079 budget increase for FY 2026-27, the entity faces growing pressure to strengthen endpoint visibility, system resilience, and cybersecurity posture. A recent mass-notification security incident has elevated operational risk and underscored gaps in endpoint oversight across critical public safety infrastructure.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026-27 budget cycle presents a timely window to advance endpoint management investment, with federal grant programs such as EMPG and HSGP offering eligible funding pathways. Acting now reduces operational and compliance risk while aligning expenditures with approved IT spending increases and established cooperative purchasing vehicles.
