Emergency Management Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces an unknown EOP review cycle, documented public-warning test failures, and unresolved mass-notification contract continuity—all while NIMS compliance and annual plan review remain mandated. A hard contract renewal deadline of September 16, 2026 elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 proposed budget includes targeted increases for public safety communications, and existing cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement. Acting before the contract deadline ensures uninterrupted warning capability, closes documented preparedness gaps, and aligns with active capital and IT replacement planning cycles.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027 across all public-facing web properties and digital documents, with an active remediation program already underway. A platform contract renewal in September 2026 creates a compressed decision window, elevating both procurement and compliance risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
Dual deadlines — a platform contract renewal in September 2026 and the WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate in April 2027 — make the current fiscal cycle the critical window for action. A proposed IT Fund increase signals available budget, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement to meet both deadlines.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two active lawsuits involving officer vehicle incidents and documented limitations in existing dash camera coverage expose significant gaps in driver behavior monitoring and evidence collection. No comprehensive telematics solution is currently in place, creating ongoing legal, operational, and public accountability risk.
The opportunity
Active litigation and a proposed FY 2026–2027 Police Department budget increase of $1.18M create immediate urgency and available funding to close this gap. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement, and fleet modernization initiatives already underway provide a natural path to implementation.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Operations Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The department faces understaffed IT conditions and a critical gap in remote monitoring and management capabilities for endpoint oversight, despite existing network management licenses. An active infrastructure refresh cycle, reflected in the proposed FY 2026–2027 IT Fund, signals that endpoint visibility and operational continuity are immediate priorities.
The opportunity
The $2.7M IT Fund budget increase and active computer replacement program create a well-timed, funded pathway to address endpoint management gaps in the current fiscal cycle. BJA JAG grant eligibility may further offset costs for tools tied to criminal-justice systems, reducing the burden on general fund appropriations.

Discuss this project →Privileged Access & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Despite staffed IT security functions, no confirmed password manager or privileged access control solution is in place, representing a documented cybersecurity gap. NIMS and broader IT security compliance requirements mandate credential management controls, elevating risk to municipal systems and sensitive data.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 IT Fund increase and BJA JAG grant eligibility for criminal-justice-connected tools provide viable funding paths to close this gap now. Leadership transitions in the current cycle create a timely opening to re-evaluate and formalize security tooling before the next budget year locks.

Discuss this project →Radio System Renewal & Communications Infrastructure Upgrade
Public Safety Communications · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's radio system and broader communications infrastructure are at or near end-of-life, with both a maintenance renewal and a six-year upgrade initiative rated at the highest urgency level. Deferred action elevates operational risk for public safety personnel who depend on reliable interoperable communications.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects confirmed funding increases for Public Safety Communications and the Police Department, signaling active procurement readiness. Cooperative purchasing vehicles already familiar to this entity can accelerate the acquisition cycle and reduce administrative burden.
