Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification system represents a legacy platform with limited capability for modern emergency communications needs. With an active Emergency Operations Plan in place, upgrading the notification infrastructure is the clearest remaining gap in a comprehensive public alerting posture.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and EMPG grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines explicitly cover emergency communications equipment, and the city's upcoming budget cycle—with study sessions in April and adoption in May 2026—creates an immediate procurement window aligned with available funding.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a federal ADA mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across public-facing digital properties by January 27, 2026. Non-compliance exposes the city to legal liability and restricts equitable resident access to essential government services online.
The opportunity
The January 27, 2026 deadline makes this the most time-sensitive compliance initiative currently facing the city. With budget study sessions in April and adoption expected in May 2026, near-term approvals are achievable, and this project is eligible for alignment with existing digital infrastructure investments and cooperative purchasing vehicles.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city operates an end-of-life email infrastructure that no longer meets current cybersecurity standards, creating operational and security risk. The presence of CJIS-sensitive systems (CLEMIS) in the same environment elevates the compliance stakes for unaddressed legacy infrastructure.
The opportunity
With the upcoming budget cycle and active pursuit of state and cooperative procurement vehicles, a phased or grant-assisted modernization approach is achievable within current fiscal constraints. Addressing this now reduces audit exposure, strengthens data security posture, and supports continuity of critical public safety communications.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's use of CLEMIS, a CJIS-sensitive system, requires robust privileged access and credential management controls to meet federal compliance standards. An end-of-life email platform compounds existing cybersecurity exposure, elevating risk to sensitive public safety data and operational continuity.
The opportunity
A potential grant match for emergency IT and cybersecurity protections aligns this investment with available funding ahead of the upcoming budget cycle. With over $458,000 already allocated to public safety technology, the city is positioned to address compliance gaps and reduce operational risk within the current fiscal window.

Discuss this project →911 System Upgrade & Public Safety Infrastructure Modernization
Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified a 911 system upgrade, body-worn camera program, and security infrastructure improvements as strategic priorities, reflecting gaps in emergency response capability and officer accountability. These initiatives carry operational and compliance risk if deferred, particularly as grant compliance requirements for emergency management increase scrutiny on communications infrastructure.
The opportunity
Strong public safety budget signals — including voter-approved funding, projected tax revenue for fire and police, and a new state public safety grant program — create a timely window for investment. FEMA grant opportunities with mid-2026 deadlines further support funding eligibility, making the upcoming budget cycle the critical moment to advance these initiatives.
