Cloud-Based CAD & RMS Modernization
Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department has approved a migration from legacy dispatch infrastructure to a cloud-based CAD and records management system, with a 3–5 month implementation window already defined. This active, time-sensitive initiative carries the highest urgency rating, and delays risk operational continuity for public safety personnel and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
FY 2026–2027 funding is confirmed and procurement activity is imminent, creating a narrow window to align resources and implementation support. Acting now ensures continuity of dispatch operations, reduces legacy system risk, and positions the department to leverage available public safety grant funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a formalized Emergency Operations Plan, has fragmented mass notification tools across disparate platforms, and has experienced significant flood-related incidents. Texas state mandates requiring EOP documentation and NIMS adoption remain unmet, creating measurable compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes $7M for a new fire station and EOC, with disaster recovery grants providing additional funding alignment. Leadership transition and approved capital investments create a timely decision window to close preparedness gaps and meet state compliance requirements.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A $7M capital investment in a new fire station and Emergency Operations Center is underway, with an additional $250K allocated for fire-safety equipment. The absence of an established EOP and gaps in mass notification capability elevate operational and compliance risk, particularly given Texas EOP and NIMS mandates and recent flood incidents.
The opportunity
Capital funding is confirmed in the FY 2026–2027 budget, creating an active, funded procurement window for communications, dispatch, and emergency management systems. Acting now ensures technology integration aligns with construction timelines, supports state compliance requirements, and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency cycle.

Discuss this project →Citywide Fleet Modernization & Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city is leasing new vehicles without fleet-wide telematics or dash camera coverage, creating documented safety and operational visibility gaps. A historical police vehicle collision underscores the risk, and the absence of real-time fleet data limits accountability and incident response across city operations.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved for FY 2026–2027, and Sourcewell cooperative membership streamlines procurement, reducing time-to-award. Acting now closes a high-urgency safety gap, supports responsible stewardship of public assets, and positions the city ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A cloud-based CAD migration is expanding the city's attack surface, while existing endpoint and credential security gaps remain unaddressed. Without structured IT management and access controls in place, public safety operations and sensitive data face elevated exposure during and after the transition.
The opportunity
A JAG grant identified for law enforcement technology may offset project costs, and the current FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and interim City Manager's IT background create a timely decision window. Acting now reduces operational risk during the CAD implementation and positions the city for stronger long-term cyber resilience.

Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city's citizen-facing digital platforms operate in a fragmented ecosystem, creating gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and inconsistent public access to services. Without remediation, the municipality faces legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 Level AA provides a defined remediation scope, enabling a structured, cost-bounded project aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Consolidating fragmented platforms alongside compliance work can reduce long-term operational costs while improving equitable service delivery for all residents.
