Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a verified Emergency Operations Plan and experienced significant operational disruption following a recent EF-3 tornado, exposing critical gaps in coordinated response. Split mass notification infrastructure, deficiencies in outdoor warning systems and the EOC/ICP, and an outstanding NIMS training compliance mandate compound the risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget includes increased public safety capital, and the September 2026 budget decision window creates immediate timing urgency to act. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the city to leverage available state and federal preparedness funding.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal ADA website compliance deadline of April 2027, with an active redesign effort underway and budget allocated for accessibility tools. Failure to meet this mandate exposes the city to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
FY 2026-27 budget funding is already approved for website redesign and accessibility tools, and the September 2026 budget decision window makes this the critical moment to act. Addressing compliance now avoids enforcement risk, improves resident-facing service delivery, and maximizes allocated public funds before the April 2027 federal deadline.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city is managing aging Windows devices and an active IT support transition, creating operational risk and a timely window for infrastructure improvements. FY 2026-27 budget allocations of $200k for network upgrades and $97k for PC replacements signal readiness to act.
The opportunity
The September 2026 budget decision window is an immediate fiscal milestone, and the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers a federal funding path for cybersecurity and criminal-justice technology improvements. Acting now aligns procurement with approved funding and reduces continuity risk during the support transition.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's expanding IT modernization initiative is broadening its cybersecurity attack surface, with aging Windows endpoints and a transitioning password management solution creating credential and compliance risk. Without updated endpoint and credential controls, public systems and sensitive data remain vulnerable to unauthorized access and breach.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers up to $4.9M for criminal-justice information systems and technology improvements, providing a direct funding path for this work. With a September 2026 budget decision window approaching, acting now aligns with active FY planning and maximizes available grant leverage.

Discuss this project →Patrol Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No fleet telematics solution is currently in place for patrol vehicles despite documented vehicle activity, leaving the city without visibility into driver behavior, vehicle location, or incident documentation. The identified need for integrated GPS, dash cameras, and driver-safety monitoring represents a gap in both operational oversight and officer accountability.
The opportunity
FY 2026-27 public safety capital funding for patrol vehicles creates a natural procurement window, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline acquisition with minimal administrative burden. Acting within this budget cycle allows the city to establish a proactive safety baseline before operational or liability risks escalate.
