Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an EOP of unknown age, incomplete NIMS adoption, and HSGP grant conditions explicitly requiring a current plan. A 2025 ransomware incident exposed continuity and communications vulnerabilities, compounded by fragmented mass-notification and CAD systems across multiple platforms.
The opportunity
Active HSGP grant funding and an upcoming September 2026 budget hearing create strong near-term alignment for addressing compliance mandates and consolidating fragmented systems. Acting now reduces operational and continuity risk while maximizing available grant resources before the fiscal window closes.
Ransomware Recovery and Identity Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed 2025 ransomware incident exposed critical gaps in endpoint management and identity protection across city departments. With annual IT spend exceeding $2.1M and a proposed budget cut, the city must pursue cost-efficient, resilient solutions to prevent recurrence and maintain operational continuity.
The opportunity
The September 2026 budget hearing and an active citywide IT modernization initiative create a near-term window to advance security improvements with stakeholder momentum. JAG grant funding may be applicable with a criminal-justice nexus, supporting cost-effective modernization aligned with the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Emergency-Response Vehicle Safety
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The emergency-response fleet lacks documented dash-camera and telematics coverage, creating measurable insurance, liability, and operational risk. A proposed Fleet Maintenance budget increase signals readiness to address this gap, but no solution is currently in place.
The opportunity
A Border Zone Fire Departments grant ($239K) provides conditional funding alignment for specialized response fleet equipment, and cooperative purchasing agreements are confirmed to streamline procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle supports risk reduction and aligns with the fleet operations modernization initiative already underway.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027, with a web accessibility policy already approved in 2026. Gaps in the existing digital platform create legal exposure under ADA mandates and risk inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a non-negotiable remediation window, and an upcoming budget hearing in September 2026 makes this fiscal cycle the critical planning moment. Confirmed cooperative procurement relationships provide a streamlined path to act quickly and cost-effectively.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A 2025 ransomware incident exposed critical gaps in endpoint management and infrastructure resilience across city operations. Active IT procurement is underway, yet annual IT spend exceeding $2.1M faces proposed reductions, increasing the risk of deferred security improvements and operational disruption.
The opportunity
An upcoming September 2026 budget hearing and active procurement cycle create a near-term window to advance endpoint and infrastructure priorities. JAG grant funding may offset costs, and leadership transition opens the door for initiative reprioritization aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
