Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified and overdue, HSEEP exercise documentation is absent, and mass notification coverage lacks established benchmarks — creating significant compliance exposure under Texas local emergency-management mandates and NIMS adoption requirements. A fragmented notification ecosystem compounds operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FY2026-27 budget allocates $167,300 specifically for emergency management and public safety technology, and federal grant programs including HSGP and EMPG offer additional funding pathways. The Fire Chief's active service model review and ongoing regional communications consolidation create a timely window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen compliance posture.
Citywide IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively replacing aging IT infrastructure and strengthening cybersecurity, with budget-approved initiatives covering network and email security improvements and hardware refresh. A recently closed RFP for security cameras and access controls confirms active procurement, and unaddressed gaps in endpoint protection and credential security elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget is adopted with dedicated IT funding already allocated, creating a near-term procurement window. Federal grant programs support eligible cybersecurity investments, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline acquisition and protect public funds.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a federal mandate to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2028. A budget-approved ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan is underway, and failure to achieve compliance creates legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline establishes a clear implementation window, and the already-approved ADA Self-Evaluation initiative reduces procurement friction. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the department to phase remediation costs and align with available state and federal accessibility funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks fleet-wide telematics and claims-grade video, contributing to a 13% rise in general liability and auto insurance costs. Combined with a long lead time for new apparatus and ongoing maintenance gaps, fleet safety and operational risk remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs provide a quantifiable ROI case for fleet safety investment, and cooperative purchasing agreements may simplify procurement. Positioning this initiative within upcoming budget planning cycles allows the department to offset long-term liability exposure with targeted technology.

Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city's cybersecurity environment is actively managed through a third-party IT partnership, with identified gaps in credential and identity security as part of a broader modernization effort. Without structured access controls, public-sector environments face elevated risk of unauthorized access, data exposure, and operational disruption.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget includes dedicated funding for network and cybersecurity improvements, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and EMPG offer additional pathways to offset costs. Acting within this budget cycle positions the city to close credential security gaps before they become audit findings or incident liabilities.
