Cybersecurity Posture Modernization and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented gaps in vulnerability remediation (currently at 44.5% against a 75% target), lapsed cyber insurance, and no confirmed completion of required cybersecurity training. An active two-year network transformation initiative and named strategic priorities—including enterprise policy, vulnerability management, MFA, and incident response—signal broad security posture risk across public operations.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget proposals include targeted increases for cybersecurity and IT support, and the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program offers eligible funding pathways. A hard infrastructure deadline tied to a major 2026 public event creates acute urgency to close security gaps and ensure operational continuity before that milestone.
Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No Emergency Operations Plan, mass notification system, or HSEEP-style exercises have been identified, leaving a critical preparedness gap. Texas Water Code EPP compliance mandates and recent declared emergencies — including flooding, heatwave, and tropical storm events — elevate both regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
Dedicated disaster recovery funding and active emergency management grant applications create a timely, low-barrier path to close preparedness gaps. An ongoing CAD system transition offers a natural integration window, and regulatory deadlines add urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties currently lack a documented WCAG/ADA accessibility roadmap, creating growing legal and compliance exposure. Without a remediation plan in place, the entity risks civil liability and fails to ensure equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
An active web accessibility roadmap initiative is already listed among strategic priorities, making this an ideal moment to formalize and fund remediation efforts within the current planning cycle. Accessibility improvements tied to broader digital modernization may qualify for state or federal funding, reducing local cost burden while advancing equity and compliance outcomes.
Expand Fleet Visibility and Contractor Oversight
Fleet Management · Operational Risk
High Priority
About this project
The District lacks telematics, dash-cams, or direct visibility into contractor fleet operations, limiting incident response and accountability. This gap creates measurable operational and liability risk, particularly where contractors operate vehicles on the District's behalf.
The opportunity
Ongoing investment in fleet management signals budget continuity, making expansion a natural next step within the current fiscal cycle. Adding telematics and oversight capabilities supports cost control, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens stewardship of public assets.
IT Infrastructure & Service Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The FY2027 budget reflects significant proposed increases for IT services, communication equipment, and service management platforms, signaling deep operational gaps in current infrastructure. A two-year network transformation initiative with a hard 2026 deadline intensifies pressure on service delivery capacity and cybersecurity posture.
The opportunity
Active procurement signals, expiring contracts, and a compressed 2026 deadline create an immediate window to advance modernization aligned with FY budget cycles. State and federal cybersecurity grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, reducing local fiscal burden while strengthening infrastructure resilience.
