Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a documented, city-specific Emergency Operations Plan and depends on county resources for mass notification, leaving residents exposed during recurring severe weather events. An active compliance mandate for a formal emergency management plan, combined with no documented exercises, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
With $25,500 of existing IT budget already directed toward emergency management and public safety, and a JAG Program grant deadline of October 2026 offering secondary eligibility for emergency management initiatives, the funding pathway is actionable now. Advancing this project closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented password and credential security gap carries a hard compliance deadline of August 31, 2026, creating immediate operational and regulatory risk. Without remediation, the organization remains exposed to unauthorized access, audit findings, and potential disruption to public-safety systems and services.
The opportunity
The August 2026 compliance deadline and an active grant window closing October 2026—explicitly covering cybersecurity and information systems—create a narrow, well-funded action window. FY 2026-27 budget increases in police computer-services further support near-term investment, and cooperative purchasing options can accelerate compliant procurement.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A municipal IT services procurement and endpoint management modernization effort is underway, with a council action milestone set for July 2026. The FY 2026-27 police computer-services budget increase signals growing operational demand, while reliance on fragmented external SaaS providers introduces continuity and oversight risk.
The opportunity
The July 2026 council action window and an October 2026 JAG Program grant deadline—covering IT management and information systems—create a near-term funding and decision opportunity. Acting within this cycle aligns procurement with approved budget increases and supports long-term operational resilience for public safety staff.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The municipality faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with a 2028 deadline, while relying on a fragmented mix of external SaaS platforms for resident-facing digital services. This environment increases remediation complexity and raises the risk of ADA-related complaints or legal exposure before the deadline is met.
The opportunity
Beginning phased remediation now—rather than at deadline—reduces cost, limits legal risk, and allows alignment with the upcoming FY budget cycle and potential OCEDC capital-project funding. Early planning ensures equitable digital access for all residents while avoiding a costly, compressed compliance sprint.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality lacks documented telematics capabilities, and existing fleet compliance signals relate to vehicle inspection rather than technology integration. Safety urgency is currently low, with no recorded fleet-involved incidents, and the FY 2026-27 budget reflects a decrease in police motor-vehicle capital outlay.
The opportunity
This project is best positioned for a future budget cycle once higher-priority initiatives are addressed and if fleet safety urgency increases. Revisiting during a favorable capital planning window will allow for stronger alignment with funding eligibility and operational need.
