Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is nearly five years old and overdue for mandatory review, creating a documented preparedness gap. Recent public criticism over multi-agency communication failures and an incoming Fire Chief's department-wide needs assessment have elevated the urgency for formal EOP modernization.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 proposed budget includes dedicated Public Safety infrastructure funding, and SHSP/UASI grant allocations provide a direct, eligible funding path for this initiative. Acting within the current budget cycle and leadership transition window positions the department to close compliance gaps and strengthen community emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a fragmented alerting environment with documented gaps in inclusive, coordinated emergency notification—including ASL accessibility—across multiple agencies. Recent public criticism following a communication failure during an active incident has elevated operational, equity, and compliance risk.
The opportunity
An RFP phase has concluded, placing this project at the threshold of vendor selection with FY 2027 budget deliberations underway and a public hearing scheduled for September 2026. Public safety grant allocations ($2.4M SHSP/UASI) provide a viable funding pathway, making immediate action critical to capture available resources and close preparedness gaps.

Fleet Management · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent fleet-involved accident resulting in multiple hospitalizations, combined with a critical internal audit citing deficiencies in maintenance and parts traceability, has created urgent compliance and safety mandates. Fragmented tools across multiple platforms limit visibility and accountability, increasing operational and liability risk for the department.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget includes a significant funding increase for public safety operations, creating a timely capital investment pathway for fleet safety improvements. Addressing audit findings now reduces liability exposure, supports corrective action compliance, and strengthens public trust in fleet operations.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The FY 2027 budget includes $11.4M for Technology Transformation and a dedicated Security and Cyber Projects II line item, confirming cybersecurity as a funded priority. A newly appointed CIO signals a strategic shift, creating an active window for modernizing endpoint management and strengthening the city's cyber posture.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) offers $4.9M explicitly applicable to cybersecurity and endpoint management improvements, providing a near-term funded procurement path. Acting within the current budget cycle aligns with FY 2027 capital allocations and new CIO-driven technology evaluations, reducing operational and security risk.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline across public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. Failure to remediate risks civil rights liability and excludes residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
An active budget cycle with a public hearing on September 10, 2026 creates a near-term window to align procurement decisions with compliance requirements. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed and available, reducing procurement lead time and supporting timely, cost-effective remediation.
