Emergency Operations Plan & Fire Station Alerting Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates with an outdated Emergency Operations Plan and an end-of-life fire station alerting system, representing a $125,000 exposure and unmet compliance mandates for EM plan review. These gaps create critical operational and public safety risks with no incumbent solution currently in place.
The opportunity
The FY27 proposed budget includes dedicated emergency management staffing and infrastructure funding, with a purchasing window likely within the next 90 days. Acting now aligns with compliance requirements, leverages available public safety funding, and closes life-safety gaps before the next budget cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Disaster Recovery Datacenter Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's disaster recovery datacenter is outdated, carrying an estimated $719,000 exposure and leaving critical systems vulnerable to ransomware and unplanned outages. Annual cybersecurity training mandates and the absence of modern backup and recovery capabilities compound both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
FY27 budget allocations include a dedicated $165K increase for anti-ransomware and backup/recovery, with an 8.7% overall rise in software expenditures—making this a funded, high-priority window. Acting now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance, and aligns with available grant funding eligible for IT infrastructure improvements.

Discuss this project →Network Refresh & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Aging IT infrastructure and an annual software spend exceeding $6.4 million have elevated this network refresh to the highest urgency level in the city's strategic plan. Annual cybersecurity training mandates and broader IT compliance requirements increase operational and regulatory risk if modernization is delayed.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget reflects clear institutional funding intent, with IT Fund and software expenditures both increasing, and a Motorola CAD/RMS renewal decision due by December 2026 that may accelerate broader infrastructure decisions within the same budget cycle. Acting now aligns with active funding windows, including grant programs supporting IT and technology improvement for public safety entities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Connectivity
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces rising fleet operating costs, with a 15.5% increase in the Fleet Services internal-service fund and a gap in fleet-wide telematics and driver behavior monitoring. Wireless connectivity for public safety vehicles is rated highest urgency, and eight police vehicle replacements are planned, heightening operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY27 proposed budget explicitly allocates $128,739 for fleet management software, making this a directly funded, near-term initiative. Acting within this budget cycle enables integration with existing EAM and GIS infrastructure while improving public safety response reliability and cost accountability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Federal Digital Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, across all public-facing web properties. Existing document and web platforms have identified accessibility gaps that, left unaddressed, create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to city services.
The opportunity
This initiative is already funded and ranked at the highest urgency level in the city's strategic plan, making the current fiscal cycle the optimal window to act. Remediating accessibility gaps now reduces regulatory and litigation risk while ensuring all residents can access digital services equitably.

Discuss this project →CAD/RMS Renewal & Public Safety Records Modernization
Public Safety Technology · Records Management
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a critical CAD/RMS software renewal decision due by December 5, 2026, with FY27 budget action set for September 14, 2026. This system is the operational backbone of public safety dispatch and records management, and delays or gaps in renewal planning elevate continuity and cybersecurity risk across the department.
The opportunity
The December 2026 renewal deadline aligns directly with the FY27 budget cycle, creating a defined window to evaluate, plan, and act. Procurement pathways through established cooperative agreements are already in place, reducing lead time and supporting fiscally responsible modernization of critical public safety infrastructure.
