Strengthen Emergency Operations Plan and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an EOP of unknown age, unclear mass notification status, and an imminent audit assessing response adequacy. Recent severe weather and tornado events, combined with NIMS compliance mandates, elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
A July 2026 City Council budget meeting, a newly appointed Director of Public Safety, and active grant programs—including BRIC and HSGP—create a well-aligned, near-term window to fund and advance this initiative. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens community resilience, and leverages available state and federal dollars.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has unconfirmed reliability, and recent severe weather and tornado incidents have exposed gaps in timely public and staff alerting. An upcoming emergency preparedness audit and NIMS/EOP compliance requirements elevate the operational and safety risk of inaction.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants explicitly fund mass notification and emergency management equipment, offering a direct pathway to reduce local budget impact. With a July 2026 City Council budget approval cycle and a preparedness audit on the horizon, the window for procurement action is defined and near-term.
Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web portals have identified WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for residents with disabilities. Existing infrastructure provides a foundation for remediation, but unresolved gaps represent ongoing operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
The upcoming July 2026 budget cycle and active digital modernization initiatives create a near-term window to address compliance gaps efficiently. Acting now reduces legal exposure, advances equitable public access, and aligns remediation costs with current fiscal planning and potential cooperative procurement pathways.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No documented endpoint management or credential security solution is currently in place, leaving public systems and sensitive data exposed. Cybersecurity compliance mandates are present, and the city's $18.7M IT spend signals capacity without a dedicated protective framework.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grants support IT and cyber resilience initiatives, and $3M in loan forgiveness eligibility frees local budget capacity for investment. A new public safety leadership hire in early 2026 and an upcoming July budget cycle create a timely window to advance this project.
Fleet Telematics & In-Vehicle Video Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public complaints about delayed emergency response and the absence of documented in-vehicle video and telematics create a moderate but growing safety and accountability gap. Without these tools, the city lacks the operational visibility needed to address service delivery concerns and manage liability exposure.
The opportunity
A new Fire Chief onboarded in early 2026 and an upcoming July 2026 budget cycle create a timely window to advance this initiative. A $50M statewide public-safety grant program and cooperative purchasing options may reduce local procurement burden and accelerate deployment.
