Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is 15 years old and overdue for mandated review, creating significant compliance and operational gaps. Heavy reliance on county systems introduces city-specific vulnerabilities, underscored by recent emergency declarations involving a snow event and water main break.
The opportunity
ARPA funds must be expended by end of 2026, offering a near-term budget window to close critical preparedness gaps. Advancing this project now aligns with the FY2026-27 budget cycle, satisfies overdue compliance mandates, and strengthens the city's standalone emergency response capability.
Mass Notification System Transition and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on county-managed mass notification infrastructure that may not meet city-specific emergency communication needs, creating a critical preparedness gap. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review, this reliance elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
ARPA funding eligible for emergency management modernization expires at the end of 2026, creating a defined window for near-term action. Bundling mass notification with EOP development maximizes impact, addresses overdue compliance requirements, and strengthens the city's independent emergency response capacity.
Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Oversight
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented gap in dash camera and telematics coverage for police operations creates measurable liability exposure and limits fleet accountability. Contracted policing arrangements and an approaching county-wide fleet electrification initiative further complicate oversight without a unified vehicle management framework in place.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 — including law enforcement equipment programs that explicitly cover vehicle telematics and fleet safety hardware — offer near-term funding with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with the FY2026-27 budget adoption and the county EV transition timeline.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and Credential Management Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks an enterprise password management solution and has no identified endpoint detection and response (EDR) capability, leaving critical gaps in its cybersecurity posture. These deficiencies elevate risk of credential compromise and undetected threats across city systems and staff.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grants explicitly cover computer technology and are approaching deadline, offering a viable funding path with minimal local match burden. The arrival of new IT leadership creates a timely window to scope and advance endpoint and credential security initiatives within the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility and Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website does not yet meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, creating compliance exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents. Addressing this gap is a defined regulatory requirement with reputational and legal risk for the municipality.
The opportunity
The city's confirmed IT budget and upcoming FY planning cycle create a viable funding pathway to advance digital accessibility compliance before mandates take effect. Acting now reduces legal exposure, improves resident service equity, and positions the city for eligible state and federal accessibility-related funding.
