Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has no confirmed telematics or dash-camera deployment despite multiple recent police vehicle accidents, including a fatality in January 2025 and an officer injury in June 2026. This critical safety gap exposes the city to operational, liability, and officer welfare risks without real-time vehicle visibility or incident documentation.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026–2027 budget includes a $650,000 Vehicle Replacement Fund transfer, with final adoption scheduled for September 28, 2026—creating a defined and near-term procurement window. Acting now aligns with the city's stated fleet safety initiative and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources. Cooperative purchasing agreements may further streamline and accelerate procurement.
CJIS Compliance & Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity & Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a mandatory gap assessment and remediation requirement tied to the updated CJIS Security Policy, with a hard compliance deadline of March 31, 2027. Existing cybersecurity tooling leaves credential and identity management gaps unaddressed, elevating risk to sensitive criminal justice data and departmental compliance standing.
The opportunity
The defined March 2027 CJIS deadline creates a clear and urgent procurement window aligned with the proposed FY2026–2027 budget, which includes a new IT Specialist position signaling organizational readiness. Acting now allows the department to close compliance gaps, reduce audit exposure, and structure investments within the current budget cycle.
IT Infrastructure and ERP Modernization
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively migrating its ERP system while facing constrained IT capacity and aging infrastructure that strain service delivery workflows. Recognized gaps have prompted the proposed FY2026–2027 budget to include a new IT Specialist position and continued ERP migration funding, signaling urgent operational need.
The opportunity
With final budget adoption scheduled for September 28, 2026, there is a defined fiscal decision point to advance modernization investments supported by an existing annual IT and software spend of over $763,000. Acting within this window aligns procurement with approved funding and reduces operational risk from continued system gaps.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2028, with concurrent initiatives to expand online payments and permitting. Failure to comply risks exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential digital services and potential legal exposure.
The opportunity
With the FY2026–2027 budget cycle approaching final adoption in September 2026, now is the optimal window to fund accessibility remediation alongside digital services expansion. Addressing compliance proactively reduces legal risk, improves equitable resident access, and aligns investment with active IT modernization priorities.
Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical preparedness gaps, including an unverified emergency plan review status, unknown mass notification subscriber penetration, and no public after-action review following a recent flooding disaster. These unresolved gaps elevate operational and community safety risk, particularly as EOC improvements and dispatch modernization remain outstanding strategic priorities.
The opportunity
With $227,430 allocated to emergency management and public safety technology in the proposed FY2026-2027 budget — set for adoption in September 2026 — the timing is favorable to advance modernization before the fiscal window closes. Recent leadership transitions create openness to new initiatives, and addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience and operational accountability.
