Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unclear emergency management leadership, and shows no documented exercises or audits—creating significant operational and grant-risk exposure. A mass notification system is in place, but broader preparedness gaps remain unaddressed, heightened by recent regional infrastructure incidents.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes capital investment in public safety infrastructure, and state-level grant pools targeting public safety communications provide near-term funding pathways with strong alignment to EOP compliance mandates. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens community resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across public-facing web portals and digital forms, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Active initiatives—including a website revamp, digital forms rollout, and online payment accessibility review—signal recognized urgency but unresolved risk.
The opportunity
With budget decisions active now and the fiscal year beginning July 1, this is the optimal window to advance accessibility remediation. Closing WCAG/ADA gaps reduces legal liability, improves equitable service delivery, and aligns with initiatives already scoped for funding in the current cycle.

Discuss this project →Aging Fleet Replacement and Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's patrol and public works vehicles are aging, generating high maintenance costs—including a single $11,000 repair—and raising officer safety concerns flagged by police leadership. No telematics solution is currently in place, leaving fleet visibility, accountability, and lifecycle planning gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget includes approved capital line items for fleet replacement, and federal public safety grant programs may offset equipment and technology costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with approved funding and reduces ongoing safety and maintenance risk.

Discuss this project →Emergency Dispatch & Public Safety Communications Upgrade
Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified critical gaps in emergency dispatch capabilities, with a capital project proposed for Police Dispatch Area Improvements and a separate initiative to procure Emergency Medical and Fire Dispatch software. Without modernized communications infrastructure, operational continuity, interoperability, and first-responder effectiveness remain at risk.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget proposal and $6.7M in state-level public safety communications funding create a well-defined, near-term window to act. Advancing this initiative now aligns with active funding allocations, demonstrated leadership intent, and grant programs eligible for public safety technology investments.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Cybersecurity Controls and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks confirmed enterprise-grade endpoint management and credential security tools, creating measurable gaps in its cybersecurity posture. A planned water plant security upgrade and general compliance mandates signal growing operational risk across critical infrastructure and municipal systems.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program supports eligible cybersecurity improvements, and the recently adopted FY27 budget reflects active technology investment capacity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to close compliance gaps, reduce breach risk, and protect essential public services.
