Cloud-Based Fire & Rescue Records Management Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's FY2027 budget approves replacing multiple legacy applications with a cloud-based Fire RMS, while a 6-month dispatch bridge contract signals an incomplete prior conversion. Emergency management is county-outsourced amid recent county turnover, and a low preparedness score points to coordination gaps that elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A budget hearing on September 15, 2026 and FY2027 start date of October 1 create an immediate funding decision window, with $904K already allocated to public safety technology. Anticipated EMPG and HSGP grant awards within 90 days offer additional eligible funding to accelerate implementation and reduce transition risk.
Dispatch Services Bridge & Public Safety Technology Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An incomplete software conversion has left the city reliant on a 6-month bridge contract for dispatch services beginning FY2027, creating a critical gap in public safety communications and emergency coordination. Immediate interim solutions and a structured long-term technology transition are required to maintain operational continuity and meet emergency management compliance mandates.
The opportunity
With a budget hearing on September 15, 2026 and FY2027 starting October 1, the procurement window is compressed and time-critical. Pending grant awards aligned to emergency management and public safety tech create a near-term funding pathway, and existing notification infrastructure presents a consolidation opportunity to reduce cost and complexity.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance Program
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028, with identified gaps including a fragmented digital forms ecosystem, unresolved PDF and document remediation needs, and live-streaming captioning requirements. Noncompliance carries legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to city services.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget funding for ADA review, website compliance, and captioning is already approved, with the September 15, 2026 budget hearing serving as an immediate planning and procurement decision point. Acting now establishes a structured remediation timeline, reduces legal risk, and ensures resident-facing digital services meet federal accessibility standards ahead of the 2028 deadline.

IT Modernization · Infrastructure Governance
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved initiative to modernize IT service management, infrastructure, and technology lifecycle governance, reflected in increased FY2027 IT expenditures. Aging systems and fragmented tooling create operational risk and inefficiencies that affect service delivery across city departments.
The opportunity
With the FY2027 budget cycle beginning October 1, 2026, and a public hearing milestone on September 15, funding decisions are imminent. Acting now aligns with approved appropriations, supports long-term cost stewardship, and reduces operational and continuity risk for city staff and residents.

Discuss this project →Data Backup & Infrastructure Resilience Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The FY2027 budget explicitly funds backup services and infrastructure resilience modernization, reflecting recognized gaps in data protection and continuity. Without modernized backup systems, the city faces elevated operational and cybersecurity risk heading into a critical technology transition period.
The opportunity
Budget approval is confirmed with FY2027 starting October 1, 2026, and the September 15 public hearing is an immediate decision milestone. Anticipated EMPG and HSGP grant awards within 90 days may provide supplemental funding, making this an optimal window to advance resilience investments.
Fire & Rescue Fleet Safety Technology Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fire and rescue apparatus currently lack dash cameras and GPS telematics, limiting safety data visibility and operational oversight despite recent reductions in workers' compensation premiums. The FY2027 budget includes fleet vehicle and stabilization strut replacements, signaling active lifecycle management but leaving a measurable technology gap relative to peer agencies.
The opportunity
Fleet replacement is budget-approved with procurement expected to follow the October 1, 2026 fiscal year start, creating a defined and time-sensitive acquisition window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to accelerate procurement timelines, and existing GIS and asset management platforms offer integration pathways that can maximize the return on public safety investment.
