EOP Update and EOC Readiness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps in emergency preparedness—including unverified EOP revision status, public concerns over siren activation during a tornado warning, and uncertain mass notification contract standing—expose the community to operational and compliance risk. A formal EOP update is mandated by November 2027, with NIMS adoption required and EOC capability development identified as a top strategic priority.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes dedicated Emergency Management funding, creating an immediate and defined purchasing window aligned with compliance deadlines. Acting within this fiscal cycle advances EOC readiness, satisfies mandate requirements, and strengthens multi-jurisdictional coordination before the November 2027 deadline.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has an unresolved contract status and documented reliability gaps, including public concerns over missed siren activation during a tornado warning. Integration with existing public safety dispatch tools is a stated requirement, elevating both operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget and increased emergency management allocations create an immediate funding window. Addressing system gaps now reduces life-safety risk, supports EOP compliance, and positions the jurisdiction ahead of the upcoming contract re-evaluation cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web properties and documents must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2028, and current gaps in website and document accessibility create legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Remediation is needed across both the website platform and document inventory to close compliance risk.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a defined planning window, and the approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes allocations for IT and digital services to fund remediation now. Acting within this fiscal cycle allows for phased implementation, reduces legal liability, and ensures all residents can access government services equitably.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented police vehicle accident and associated repair costs have exposed gaps in fleet oversight and driver safety accountability. Without a comprehensive telematics program, the department lacks real-time visibility into vehicle operations, increasing liability and risk to officers and the public.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget includes a $150,000 equipment increase, creating an immediate funding window for fleet safety investment. A new police chief appointment signals momentum for public safety technology prioritization, making this an ideal time to advance telematics and reduce operational risk.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a mature IT environment with existing productivity, backup, and security awareness tools, yet gaps remain in endpoint management and privileged access security. With an annual IT and software spend exceeding $400K, the organization has committed to cybersecurity modernization as a strategic priority, making unaddressed vulnerabilities an escalating operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget is approved and includes dedicated IT allocations, creating an immediate and defined purchasing window. Acting within this fiscal cycle allows the organization to close security gaps, reduce exposure, and align investments with already-committed public funds before the window closes.
