Emergency Preparedness & Alert System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an inoperable storm siren, unverified Emergency Operations Plan status, and no public after-action reporting — with no unified solution in place. A budget-approved alert texting initiative is underway, but an overdue EOP review mandate and fragmented communications infrastructure elevate public safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
An upcoming council budget session and the BJA FY 2026 JAG grant deadline (October 9, 2026) create a narrow window to advance this initiative with potential supplemental funding. Acting now aligns procurement with approved budget authority, closes a documented compliance gap, and strengthens community-wide emergency response readiness.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Municipal Cybersecurity Through Password Management Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has an identified cybersecurity-control gap with no confirmed password management solution in place, creating measurable exposure to credential-based threats. An annual cybersecurity training compliance deadline of August 31, 2026 compounds the risk, and an active IT provider transition makes this a critical window to address foundational security controls.
The opportunity
The convergence of a compliance deadline, a budget session on September 8, 2026, and an IT infrastructure transition creates rare, near-term alignment for action. The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant—closing October 9, 2026—explicitly supports information systems and technology improvements, offering a viable funding pathway with minimal local match burden.

Discuss this project →IT Managed Services & Endpoint Management Transition
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively transitioning to a new IT services provider, expanding into Microsoft 365 and broader managed services, with no incumbent endpoint or remote monitoring solution in place. This greenfield environment creates operational risk if endpoint visibility and management controls are not established alongside the transition.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget discussion and a September 2026 council session create an immediate decision window to embed endpoint management within the transition scope. Acting now avoids retrofitting controls later, aligns with cybersecurity compliance requirements, and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles to streamline purchasing.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance & WCAG Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a defined WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline and a current gap in accessibility tooling across its public-facing web presence. Without remediation, the city risks legal exposure, ADA-related complaints, and failure to meet federal accessibility mandates by 2028.
The opportunity
With a September 2026 budget session approaching, near-term scoping aligns with active fiscal planning and the city's demonstrated willingness to invest in compliance-driven technology. Proactive remediation reduces legal risk, supports equitable public access, and positions the city ahead of the 2028 enforcement deadline.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Police Vehicle Risk Documentation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces ongoing public safety concerns around speeding and stop sign violations, with recurring police vehicle operating costs and no current system for driver behavior documentation. Without telematics data, the city lacks objective records to support risk control, liability management, and operational accountability.
The opportunity
The September 2026 council budget session creates a near-term window to include fleet technology in the 2026–2027 budget, and the BJA Justice Assistance Grant program—with a deadline in the current 90-day window—may offer eligible funding for law enforcement technology improvements. A pending police leadership transition further supports evaluating new operational tools now.

Discuss this project →Recurring Cybersecurity Reporting & Compliance Program
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Governance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a structured cybersecurity oversight gap, with no recurring reporting program in place and an annual cybersecurity training compliance deadline of August 31, 2026. Identified control gaps—including password management—elevate operational and audit risk during an active IT provider transition.
The opportunity
The current IT transition period and upcoming council budget session create an immediate window to establish recurring compliance infrastructure ahead of audit exposure. This initiative may align with federal justice and technology grant funding, and directly supports the city's FY planning cycle.
