Unify Emergency Dispatch & Resident Alert Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates a fragmented emergency communications ecosystem—dispatch handled through a county agreement and resident notifications on a separate platform—creating dangerous coordination gaps. Documented warning failures during a tornado event and the absence of a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan expose residents and staff to significant preparedness and liability risk.
The opportunity
The May 2026 renewal of the regional emergency-dispatch interlocal agreement creates a defined, time-bound decision window with budget-approved funding already aligned to this priority. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to close critical preparedness gaps, strengthen resident safety, and leverage the CDBG Public Health & Safety Project as a complementary funding pathway.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly verifiable Emergency Operations Plan and relies on county EMA support, creating significant compliance and operational exposure. Documented resident warning failures during a tornado event highlight the urgent need to close preparedness gaps and unify fragmented emergency communications.
The opportunity
The May 2026 interlocal agreement renewal and the annual budget cycle create a near-term decision window to advance this initiative with existing fiscal alignment. Prospective Homeland Security Grant Program subaward eligibility may offset local costs, and acting now reduces liability exposure while strengthening resident safety outcomes.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital portals and web properties have not been confirmed to meet federal ADA Title II accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. A hard 2028 federal deadline requires documented remediation, making inaction an escalating compliance and equity risk.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline establishes a defined planning and execution window, making now the right time to assess gaps and sequence remediation within upcoming fiscal cycles. Cooperative purchasing agreements may reduce procurement burden and help stretch limited IT budgets toward full compliance.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department has an adopted cybersecurity plan that remains unimplemented, with password-security controls identified as a specific gap. Without confirmed endpoint or identity protections in place, the organization carries measurable and growing risk to public systems and data.
The opportunity
Leadership has already approved the cybersecurity mandate, removing the largest barrier to action — making this the right moment to move from plan to practice. Right-sized solutions aligned to the current annual IT budget can close critical control gaps before they result in an incident or audit finding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Risk Management & Liability Mitigation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising auto and liability insurance premiums signal elevated fleet-related risk, pointing to gaps in driver behavior visibility and incident documentation. Without structured monitoring, the municipality faces continued cost exposure and limited ability to defend against liability claims.
The opportunity
Insurance premium increases provide a measurable financial case for fleet risk investment, where long-term premium relief may offset upfront costs. Aligning this initiative with the upcoming budget cycle positions the municipality to reduce liability exposure and strengthen stewardship of public assets.
