Strengthen Emergency Preparedness and Operations Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Significant gaps exist in emergency preparedness, including an unverified EOP status, staffing capacity concerns, and no documented exercises or audits. A recent tornado response drew public scrutiny, and unmet NIMS compliance mandates risk loss of federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
A FEMA Major Disaster Declaration signals active federal funding availability, and the upcoming fiscal year start creates a near-term procurement window. Addressing these gaps now restores compliance, reduces operational risk, and positions the jurisdiction to access emergency management grant funding.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification platform has drawn public scrutiny following a tornado response, exposing gaps in alerting capability and system integration. Unresolved emergency preparedness deficiencies—including uncertain EOP status and limited exercise documentation—elevate both operational and NIMS compliance risk, with grant eligibility potentially at stake.
The opportunity
The annual budget review cycle and a FEMA Major Disaster Declaration create a timely window to evaluate and modernize alerting infrastructure. Acting now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with available emergency management funding that may require coordination before the fiscal year close.
Police Fleet Telematics & Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The police division currently lacks dashcam and telematics capabilities, creating gaps in incident documentation, driver behavior monitoring, and fleet accountability. An active fleet replacement Capital Improvement Plan signals budget readiness, but the absence of telematics elevates operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant offers a strong near-term funding path for fleet safety and telematics with no local match required, aligning well with the active CIP and upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Utility rate increases are generating additional capital revenue, further supporting fleet investment and reducing reliance on the general fund.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The municipality has identified website accessibility under WCAG/ADA standards as an active compliance mandate and strategic initiative. Unresolved accessibility gaps expose the entity to legal risk and limit equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
Compliance-driven timelines make this a non-discretionary priority aligned with the upcoming fiscal year budget cycle. Existing cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement, and the $1.1M+ annual IT spend signals capacity to act within current planning windows.

IT Modernization · Public Sector Technology Planning
High Priority
About this project
The city maintains an Annual Technology Plan with IT and software spend exceeding $1.1M, reflecting structured but evolving IT governance. Cybersecurity and emergency preparedness gaps—including uncertain EOP status and NIMS compliance risk—elevate operational and grant-eligibility concerns heading into the next fiscal cycle.
The opportunity
The May budget review and July 1 fiscal year start create a near-term procurement window, while a FEMA Major Disaster Declaration signals available federal funding for eligible technology and preparedness investments. Upcoming leadership transitions make this an opportune moment to reassess technology priorities and close critical operational gaps.
