Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's EOP status is unverified, alert system continuity is unknown, and a recent winter storm exposed critical preparedness gaps. Compliance mandates under Tennessee law, TEMA, and FEMA NIMS create direct regulatory pressure to formalize emergency management infrastructure without delay.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY 2026–27 budget with dedicated public safety funding and a cooperative purchasing agreement create favorable conditions for immediate action. Addressing these gaps now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns procurement with the current fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current alert system vendor and renewal status are unverified, leaving a critical gap in mass notification capability exposed by a recent winter storm incident. Compliance mandates under Tennessee law, TEMA, and FEMA NIMS require a reliable, documented notification system—making inaction an operational and regulatory liability.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026-27 budget cycle and a confirmed cooperative purchasing agreement provide a streamlined procurement path with favorable timing. Acting now closes a documented preparedness gap, satisfies state and federal compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience before the next weather or public safety event.

Public Safety · Law Enforcement Technology
High Priority
About this project
A scheduled July 27, 2026 work-session creates a defined, time-bound window for body-worn camera procurement at the police department. An active Comptroller investigation into misappropriation and falsified training records is driving urgent public accountability pressure, making evidentiary and oversight technology an immediate operational need.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY 2026-27 budget with $1.4 million allocated to the police department, combined with an existing cooperative purchasing agreement, supports a streamlined procurement path. Acting within this defined work-session window aligns spending with appropriated funds and directly addresses transparency and accountability mandates.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Fleet monitoring coverage is unverified, a public unsafe driving incident has been recorded, and training record integrity is in question — creating measurable liability and accountability gaps. These conditions elevate operational risk for the department and the public it serves.
The opportunity
A recently approved FY 2026–27 police department budget provides available funding to initiate a fleet safety evaluation now, during a period of leadership transition when new priorities can be established. Addressing these gaps supports public accountability, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens departmental oversight.

Discuss this project →Consolidate Public-Facing Digital Access and Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Operating dual citizen-facing platforms creates redundant workflows, inconsistent public access to documents, and unresolved web accessibility compliance exposure. This fragmented digital ecosystem increases operational overhead and risk of non-compliance across public-facing services.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and active FY budget cycle create a favorable window to advance platform consolidation, reduce redundancy costs, and close accessibility compliance gaps. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline procurement and accelerate implementation.
