Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces an overdue Emergency Operations Plan, unresolved mass notification system contract and end-of-life status, and missing exercise and audit documentation. These gaps create significant compliance and operational risk for the Fire and Emergency Management function, leaving residents and staff underprotected.
The opportunity
An upcoming emergency management planning deadline, recent leadership transitions, and identified federal grant funding paths — including EMPG and HSGP — create a near-term window to close critical gaps. Acting now aligns with the current budget cycle and positions the city to meet compliance mandates while strengthening community resilience.
Mass Notification System Consolidation and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's mass notification system has an unknown contract and end-of-life status, with alerting split across multiple platforms, creating reliability and coverage gaps. This fragmented environment elevates operational risk for staff and residents during time-critical incidents, and emergency management planning deadlines are approaching.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant funding—including EMPG and HSGP—is actively available and aligned to this project type. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle reduces compliance exposure, closes a critical preparedness gap, and positions the city for a unified, resilient alerting capability ahead of upcoming EM planning deadlines.
Cybersecurity & IT Modernization During Leadership Transition
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Compliance deadlines for cybersecurity training and password security have already passed, leaving the city in active exposure. With $1.2M in annual IT spend and an interim CTO in place, gaps in endpoint management and credential security present elevated operational and institutional risk.
The opportunity
An approved SHSP LETPA grant and identified JAG funding provide clear paths to accelerate cybersecurity procurement within the current budget cycle. Acting now during the leadership transition positions the city to close compliance gaps, reduce risk, and align new IT priorities with available funding.
SHSP LETPA Grant

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline in April 2028 for public-facing web portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. An active RFP for website rebranding and upgrade confirms a live procurement initiative requiring timely action.
The opportunity
A recently adopted city budget provides funding capacity, and an incoming City Manager creates a favorable window for new digital priorities. Advancing this project now ensures compliance, reduces legal risk, and improves equitable access to city services ahead of the 2028 deadline.
Modernize Fleet Safety and Telematics Operations
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks modern fleet safety tools—including dash cameras and telematics—leaving vehicle operations without real-time visibility or incident documentation. A documented fire truck rollover and ongoing Fire Department equipment gaps signal elevated operational and liability risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
Fleet and transportation modernization is an active strategic priority, and cooperative purchasing agreements can reduce procurement complexity and timeline. Addressing these safety gaps now supports risk mitigation, aligns with budget planning cycles, and may qualify for state or federal funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
City systems face growing endpoint management gaps amid IT leadership turnover, including a departed IT Director and interim CTO, signaling a critical re-evaluation period. Compliance mandates around cybersecurity and significant annual IT spend confirm both the urgency and the budget capacity to act.
The opportunity
An active budget cycle and approved grant funding (HSGP, JAG, SHSP LETPA) create a near-term runway to advance IT infrastructure improvements with reduced local match burden. Acting now allows the city to align modernization efforts with incoming leadership priorities and strengthen operational resilience across departments.
