Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is 4–5 years overdue, disaster drills are incomplete, and after-action findings from recent incidents remain unaddressed. A Texas Division of Emergency Management planning standard deadline of November 2027 creates a hard compliance driver with direct operational and public safety consequences.
The opportunity
With $16.4M approved for public safety facilities and master plan update grants available as supplemental funding, the fiscal environment supports action now. Addressing preparedness gaps before the 2027 compliance deadline reduces operational risk and strengthens community resilience ahead of the upcoming planning cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department operates emergency vehicles without documented fleet-tracking technology, creating gaps in risk management, evidence preservation, and operational oversight. A $3.7M capital budget has been approved for fire apparatus replacement, with a vehicle purchase expected in June 2026, making fleet telematics adoption an immediate operational priority.
The opportunity
Approved capital funding and a $300K fire tanker grant establish a clear, near-term funding path with a June 2026 purchase window and September fiscal year-end deadline. Acting now aligns procurement with active budget authority, cooperative purchasing eligibility, and the department's stated strategic priority of volunteer fire apparatus modernization.
BJA FY 2026 JAG Program
Discuss this project →Annual Cybersecurity Training & Credential Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas state law requires annual cybersecurity training and certification for government entities, yet no credential management or security tooling is currently documented. This gap elevates the department's exposure to cyber risk and places the entity out of alignment with state compliance obligations.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers eligible funding for IT and cybersecurity improvements, aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Addressing this recurring mandate now closes a documented security posture gap and supports the entity's broader IT infrastructure modernization initiative.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals have identified gaps in ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. A federal regulatory deadline of April 26, 2028 mandates full remediation, creating a firm and non-negotiable planning horizon.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline allows for risk-tiered, phased remediation staged by severity within current and upcoming fiscal cycles. Acting now avoids last-minute procurement pressure, reduces legal exposure, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents ahead of the mandate.
IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively modernizing its IT infrastructure and digital systems, but endpoint management tooling has not been formally documented or deployed, creating a visibility and security gap. As the department's digital footprint grows, the absence of centralized endpoint oversight elevates operational and cybersecurity risk, particularly given annual state cybersecurity training and certification requirements.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program presents a relevant funding pathway for IT and cybersecurity improvements, and active leadership support for modernization signals readiness to act. Addressing endpoint management gaps now aligns with the current fiscal cycle and reduces compliance exposure ahead of mandated certification deadlines.
