Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a verified Emergency Operations Plan, has no designated emergency management coordinator, and operates with an unconfirmed mass notification system — yielding a preparedness score of just 3. A standing compliance mandate to maintain a Basic EOP leaves the department exposed to operational and liability risk during critical incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget reflects a meaningful increase in Police Department funding, with $56,600 directed toward emergency management and public safety technology — signaling available capacity for near-term investment. An existing regional OEM partnership provides a ready stakeholder pathway, and acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending with documented preparedness gaps before compliance risk escalates.
Mass Notification System Verification & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system is unverified, leaving staff and resident alerting reliability unconfirmed during emergencies. Combined with an unknown EOP status and no named EM coordinator, this gap creates compounding preparedness and compliance risk for the city.
The opportunity
Dedicated public safety tech funding in the FY2026–27 budget and an active regional OEM partnership provide a near-term path to address notification gaps. Acting now reduces emergency response risk, supports Basic EOP compliance, and aligns with current budget capacity before the fiscal cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level A/AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring remediation of digital portals and public-facing documents. Existing platforms such as permitting and legislative management tools indicate accessibility gaps that pose legal and equity risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
A $40,000 citywide IT allocation in FY2026-27 provides a near-term funding pathway, and the fixed 2028 deadline creates a defined planning window. Beginning remediation now avoids last-minute cost escalation and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
Modernizing City IT and Police Data Processing Capacity
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The FY2026-27 budget dedicates $40,000 to citywide IT and $30,000 to police data processing, signaling a recognized need to expand and modernize infrastructure. With $117,650 in annual IT and software spend already in place, gaps in endpoint management and data handling capacity pose operational and continuity risks to city and public safety functions.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget lines are already approved for the upcoming fiscal year, creating a clear and immediate funding pathway with no incumbent vendors to navigate. Acting within this cycle allows the city to address infrastructure gaps, improve data processing reliability, and align spending with operational priorities before the window closes.
