Emergency Operations Plan & Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an unconfirmed EOP status, fragmented alert systems, and documented reach failures during incidents. Texas law mandates a current EM plan, and NIMS compliance is required for grant eligibility, creating compounding legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active grant funding opportunities aligned with fire and emergency management modernization make this an urgent near-term priority. Incoming fire department leadership creates a timely opening to unify fragmented systems, close compliance gaps, and strengthen community-wide emergency response.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The volunteer fire department's fleet currently lacks dash-cams, telematics, and driver monitoring, creating documented safety and liability gaps. Operational documentation relies on basic tools, leaving the department without the data needed to manage risk, support incident review, or meet evolving public safety standards.
The opportunity
A recent fire and rescue equipment modernization grant creates a timely funding pathway to bundle fleet safety technology within the current grant cycle. Acting now aligns with FY 2026–2027 budget planning, leverages available cooperative purchasing vehicles, and positions the department to reduce operational risk under new leadership.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2028 for its public-facing web presence. The current platform, managed through a third-party vendor, may not natively meet accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and inequitable access for residents.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 proposed budget includes a dedicated website line item, providing a near-term funding pathway aligned with procurement planning. Acting within this budget cycle allows the department to meet the April 2028 deadline, reduce legal risk, and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The FY 2026–2027 proposed budget includes dedicated line items for computers, software, and cyber insurance across multiple departments, confirming leadership recognition of cybersecurity risk. With an established annual IT spend baseline, the municipality faces growing exposure without a formalized, comprehensive security framework in place.
The opportunity
Active budget allocations and increased sales tax revenue create immediate fiscal capacity to act within the current planning cycle. Formalizing cybersecurity investments now reduces operational and financial risk, strengthens public trust, and positions the municipality to meet evolving state and federal compliance expectations.
