Emergency Preparedness & Public Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including delayed public notifications during infrastructure failures, recurring water system incidents, and an overdue Multi Hazard Mitigation Plan update. Texas Water Code and TCEQ mandates require a current emergency preparedness plan for water utilities, and the existing alert system's underperformance elevates public safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
With $13.7M allocated for emergency management and public safety technology and over $12.8M in applicable grants, the upcoming FY 2027 budget adoption creates a near-term funding window to close preparedness gaps. Acting now addresses active compliance mandates, reduces operational and reputational risk, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next declared emergency.

ADA Compliance · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Seven serious WCAG 2.1 Level AA failures have been identified on the public-facing website, creating active legal and reputational exposure ahead of the federal ADA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028. With an Accessibility Advisory Committee engaged and a full website redesign underway, unresolved gaps risk derailing both the redesign and broader digital service delivery goals.
The opportunity
The combination of a firm federal compliance deadline, an active advisory committee, and an approved $3.2M IT budget increase creates strong conditions for near-term remediation. Acting within the current FY planning cycle ensures procurement aligns with the 2026 budget adoption timeline and reduces legal risk before the 2028 mandate takes effect.
Privileged Access & Cybersecurity Risk Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active compliance mandate prohibits certain covered applications, and documented gaps in administrative access controls—including an open utility billing role—elevate insider risk exposure. The city's formal Cybersecurity Improvement and Risk Management initiative requires security audits, staff training, and stronger identity controls to meet operational and regulatory standards.
The opportunity
A $3.2M IT budget increase and $32M in annual technology spend signal available funding, and new director appointments in 2025 create a timely window for security tooling re-evaluation. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns with strategic priorities already approved, reducing compliance risk and strengthening protection of public systems and data.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city operates an active fleet management program but lacks documented safety technology such as telematics or driver behavior monitoring, leaving fleet safety risks unquantified and unaddressed. A zero-emission vehicle transition initiative now underway requires fleet-level visibility and tracking to meet operational and governance requirements.
The opportunity
The active zero-emission vehicle transition creates a natural integration point for telematics, and an existing GIS infrastructure provides a ready technical foundation. Addressing this gap now aligns with current strategic initiatives and upcoming fiscal planning cycles, supporting responsible stewardship of public assets.
City Clerk Agenda & Legislative Management Software Replacement
Legislative Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The current agenda and legislative management platform contract expires July 17, 2027, with no renewal option, creating a mandatory procurement and implementation event. Failure to plan ahead risks operational disruption to City Clerk workflows, public meeting transparency, and legislative recordkeeping continuity.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget adoption window in August 2026 makes 2026 the critical year to initiate procurement planning and secure funding approval. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures adequate time for competitive solicitation, implementation, and staff transition before the hard contract expiration.
