Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity currently lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, with documented gaps in mass-notification coverage and water-supply resilience. Texas Water Code §§13.1394–13.1395 imposes emergency management compliance mandates, elevating regulatory and operational risk to residents and utility service continuity.
The opportunity
Active grant applications—including a $285,000 SHSP-R submission—and an open RFP for Disaster Recovery Consulting signal near-term procurement readiness. Addressing this gap during the FY 2026–27 budget cycle maximizes available funding and reduces compliance and continuity risk before the next emergency event.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass-notification system has an unidentified vendor and unknown coverage, creating a critical gap in public safety communications. This deficiency increases risk during emergencies and conflicts with Texas emergency management mandates, leaving residents and staff without reliable alert infrastructure.
The opportunity
Active grant applications—including a $285,000 SHSP-R award—and an ongoing FY 2026–27 budget cycle with significant IT increases create a near-term funding window. Modernizing now aligns with EOP development efforts, satisfies compliance requirements, and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Connectivity and coordination gaps across emergency response stakeholders create operational risk during critical incidents. An active interoperable communications initiative is underway to address these deficiencies, with grant applications already submitted to close the gap.
The opportunity
A $285,000 SHSP-R grant application is actively in pursuit, signaling strong financial readiness and high timing urgency aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Advancing this project now strengthens multi-agency response coordination and leverages available federal funding before the window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A live emergency call integration solution has recently been deployed, signaling active investment in dispatch modernization—but documented gaps remain in emergency operations planning, mass notification coverage, and water-supply resilience. Texas Water Code mandates and interoperable communications requirements elevate compliance and operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
With FY 2026–27 budget planning underway and an active SHSP-R grant application in pursuit, funding pathways are aligned to expand emergency management capabilities now. Stakeholder momentum from the recent deployment creates a favorable window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community-wide response readiness.

Emergency Management · Operational Resilience
High Priority
About this project
An active RFP for Disaster Recovery Consulting Services signals documented gaps in operational continuity and disaster preparedness, including the absence of a current EOP and unresolved water-supply resilience concerns. Emergency management mandates under Texas Water Code §§13.1394–13.1395 add compliance urgency for public utilities and municipal operations.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget cycle includes significant proposed IT capital increases, and an active SHSP-R grant application of $285,000 is in progress to support emergency management initiatives. Acting within this procurement and funding window accelerates resilience outcomes while maximizing eligible state and federal dollars.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Texas SB 271 mandates cybersecurity incident reporting and implies enforceable controls around MFA, SSO, password management, and encryption. Gaps in current tooling create measurable compliance and operational risk for staff, residents, and critical public infrastructure.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–27 budget cycle includes significant proposed increases in IT software spend, and cybersecurity-aligned grant funding has been identified. Acting now positions the entity to meet compliance deadlines, reduce breach exposure, and leverage available funding before the window closes.
