Formal Cybersecurity Program & IT Security Enhancements
Cybersecurity & IT Modernization · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved cybersecurity initiative is underway, driven by Texas's 48-hour incident reporting mandate and the absence of a deployed password management solution. Aging end-of-life infrastructure—including $3.3M in server replacements and $199K in network hardware—compounds operational and compliance risk across the organization.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant explicitly covers cybersecurity technology and access-management systems with no cost share, offering a strong near-term funding pathway. With a September 2026 budget hearing approaching, acting now aligns procurement with fiscal planning and reduces exposure under state incident reporting requirements.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented vehicle damage incidents exceeding $27,000 reveal a critical gap in fleet oversight, with no established telematics or forward-facing video program despite operating an emergency fleet. The absence of real-time visibility and evidence collection capabilities elevates liability exposure and operational risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
A board-approved $600,000 fleet replacement allocation creates a near-term, well-funded procurement window. Acting now integrates safety and monitoring capabilities alongside planned vehicle replacement, maximizing public investment and reducing incident liability before the next budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan review status and no dated HSEEP exercise records, both required under Texas compliance mandates. With mass notification contract renewal timing also unknown, these gaps present compounding operational and compliance risk to public safety continuity.
The opportunity
A budget-approved initiative combined with an active UASI funding window—offering a minimum of $10,000 with no maximum cap—creates an immediate pathway to close preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns with Texas EOP maintenance mandates, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal planning cycle.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
An in-progress WCAG 2.0 A and AA website accessibility effort is underway, while a related entity faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028. A website governance policy for ADA compliance has been approved, but the digital document accessibility initiative remains unfunded, creating regulatory and equity risk.
The opportunity
The April 26, 2028 compliance deadline establishes a defined window for action, and the September 2026 budget hearing presents a near-term opportunity to secure funding. Advancing this initiative now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable public access, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
IT Infrastructure Lifecycle Replacement and Modernization
IT Modernization · Operational Continuity
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces end-of-life server virtualization ($3.3M) and network switching/routing ($199K) replacements, alongside a $1M rise in IT software maintenance costs. These lifecycle gaps, compounded by an expiring core financial system contract, elevate risk to operational continuity and service delivery.
The opportunity
Replacements are reflected in the current budget with a September 2026 budget hearing reinforcing near-term spend authority. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed and available, and adjacent IT investments may be unlocked as the expiring financial system contract creates a natural decision window.

Discuss this project →Wireless Network Modernization & Penetration Testing
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified wireless access point replacement and a municipal penetration testing initiative as part of its broader IT security strategy, though neither is currently funded. These gaps leave aging network infrastructure and unassessed vulnerabilities in place, elevating operational and security risk.
The opportunity
Both initiatives are named in the strategic pipeline, signaling planning maturity ahead of the September 2026 budget cycle. The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant explicitly covers cybersecurity and IT management tools with no cost-share requirement, offering a viable funding pathway to advance both efforts.
