Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web portals have identified WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services. An IT operational efficiency audit has flagged these deficiencies as a critical compliance and public access risk requiring immediate remediation.
The opportunity
A dedicated $50,000 budget increase for ADA compliance has been approved, and the April 2026 deadline creates clear urgency for near-term action. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal liability, ensures equitable public access, and aligns with current fiscal-year funding availability.

About this project
The entity faces a Texas-mandated annual cybersecurity training deadline of August 2026, a password security mandate, and identified gaps in anti-ransomware and backup/recovery capabilities. A Disaster Recovery Datacenter Refresh is also a named strategic initiative, elevating operational and continuity risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
A dedicated $165,354 budget increase for anti-ransomware and backup/recovery is already proposed, and FY 2026 Local JAG funding explicitly covers cybersecurity and IT improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance deadlines, reduces ransomware exposure, and strengthens public service continuity.

Fleet Management · Public Safety

About this project
Solid waste vehicles currently lack internal cameras and distraction alerts, creating measurable driver safety gaps and liability exposure. Rising insurance costs—including a 36.4% increase in Stop Loss coverage—underscore the operational and financial risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
A proposed $128,739 FY 2027 budget increase for Fleet Management Software signals approved planning-stage funding, and a parallel initiative to replace wireless connectivity in public safety vehicles broadens the scope. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces insurance cost pressure and strengthens driver safety outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity operates a fragmented emergency management ecosystem with an unknown-age Emergency Operations Plan, a potentially outdated mass notification system, and an end-of-life Fire Station Alerting System requiring a $125,000 upgrade. The TDEM updated planning standard mandate, due November 2027, directly requires a unified, compliant emergency management platform.
The opportunity
The November 2027 TDEM compliance deadline and a budgeted $125,000 alerting system replacement create a defined window to consolidate fragmented tools and close preparedness gaps. The Extraordinary Emergency Fund offers a potential funding pathway, and acting now supports FY planning alignment and reduces operational and regulatory risk.

IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The city's current phone system is operating without vendor support, creating direct risk to internal communications and service delivery. An IT operational efficiency audit has flagged this as a high-urgency need, with FY 2026 designated as the required replacement window.
The opportunity
A dedicated $170,000 budget increase has been allocated for this replacement, making funding immediately available within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now eliminates the operational and continuity risk posed by an unsupported system while aligning with approved appropriations before the FY 2026 deadline.

IT Modernization · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
An internal IT operational efficiency audit has surfaced gaps in asset visibility and ERP system interoperability, creating risk for service continuity and financial oversight. Incoming leadership—including a new finance director and expanded IT staff—heightens the urgency to address these structural gaps before workflows and spending patterns are further entrenched.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget reflects growing IT fund allocations and over $6.4 million in annual technology spend, signaling both capacity and appetite for modernization. Leadership transitions create a favorable window to align asset management and integration improvements with upcoming fiscal planning cycles and long-term operational goals.
