Emergency Management Platform Consolidation & EOP Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's emergency management function relies on fragmented, distributed systems, creating coordination gaps and unknown EOP currency that put NIMS compliance and Texas-mandated annual plan review requirements at risk. A proposed FY27 staffing expansion signals organizational readiness to formalize and consolidate this critical public safety function.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle, with council action expected in September 2026, creates a near-term window to fund platform consolidation, supplemented by available FEMA and TDEM grant programs. Acting now aligns with new EM staffing, ongoing resilience initiatives, and compliance obligations before the next review cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Management System & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A citywide fleet audit produced 28 formal recommendations, including the need for a dedicated fleet management information system and stronger preventive maintenance practices. Fire apparatus and other public safety vehicles are at or beyond replacement age, and current telematics coverage appears limited, creating proactive operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle includes a vehicle replacement package spanning fire, EMS, police, and public works assets, providing direct funding alignment. Formal audit findings and cooperative purchasing relationships reduce procurement friction, making near-term action both strategically justified and operationally urgent.
Strengthen Citywide Cybersecurity and Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city maintains active annual cybersecurity training obligations but lacks a confirmed password management solution, creating a measurable compliance and security gap. With a new Assistant Director of Information Technology onboarded in late 2025 and a citywide IT modernization initiative underway, the environment is primed to address credential security risks that expose public systems and data.
The opportunity
An active JAG Local Formula grant provides direct, eligible funding for cybersecurity and IT management improvements, and the FY27 budget cycle presents a near-term window to formalize investment. Acting now aligns with new IT leadership priorities, satisfies compliance obligations, and reduces operational risk to city systems and the residents they serve.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint Management & Remote Monitoring Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's CAD/RMS software renewal deadline in December 2026 creates an immediate window to address endpoint management and IT infrastructure gaps. A citywide IT modernization effort and expanding FY27 staffing are increasing the endpoint management surface, elevating operational and security risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle, new IT leadership, and an available JAG Local Formula grant provide a direct funding path for IT management investments. Acting now aligns with budget planning timelines and reduces operational risk ahead of the CAD/RMS renewal deadline.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027, applicable to its population size, with a website accessibility program underway but document accessibility gaps remaining. These gaps present legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to public information and services.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a fixed compliance window, and the active FY27 budget cycle—with over $1 million in annual IT spend—confirms near-term funding capacity. Addressing document accessibility now reduces legal risk, advances digital equity, and aligns remediation costs with current budget planning.
