Emergency Management Plan & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Critical gaps in outdoor warning siren coverage, an unverified Emergency Management Plan, and fragmented communications across multiple systems elevate operational and public safety risk. EOC modernization and resilient infrastructure are budget-approved strategic priorities requiring near-term action.
The opportunity
Allocated ARPA funds for public safety projects carry a hard expenditure deadline of December 31, 2026, and the FY2027 budget adoption closes September 15, 2026, compressing the decision window. Acting now enables the city to close preparedness gaps, consolidate fragmented communications, and fully leverage available federal funding.
Outdoor Warning Siren & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's outdoor warning siren network has documented coverage gaps and past functionality failures, while emergency communications remain fragmented across multiple disconnected platforms. This split infrastructure creates coordination inefficiencies and elevates operational risk during time-critical incidents, undermining emergency management plan consistency and exercise tracking compliance.
The opportunity
Allocated ARPA funds with a December 31, 2026 expenditure deadline create a near-term, defined funding window for consolidating emergency notification infrastructure. Acting now reduces public safety risk, satisfies emergency management compliance mandates, and ensures public funds are obligated before the deadline lapses.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
With 27 preventable fleet crashes recorded in 2024 and no dash cameras or telematics in place, the agency faces mounting liability exposure and limited ability to document or correct driver behavior. An active EV fleet rollout further elevates the need for integrated, real-time asset tracking and monitoring.
The opportunity
Capital improvement and technology budgets are confirmed, and cooperative procurement agreements provide an expedited path to award. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports the EV transition, reduces preventable incident costs, and strengthens operational accountability across the fleet.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active initiatives around vulnerability assessments, policy updates, security awareness training, and asset lifecycle management signal a maturing but incomplete cybersecurity posture. Remaining gaps in endpoint management and privileged access create measurable operational and compliance risk for staff and public-facing systems.
The opportunity
ARPA funds earmarked for cybersecurity projects carry a December 2026 expenditure deadline, and the FY2027 budget proposes increased IT and cybersecurity spending. The BJA FY 2026 JAG program is explicitly applicable for cybersecurity tools, providing an additional funding pathway aligned with the current planning cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's civic digital portal has a stated WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance requirement, but independent verification of current conformance is absent. Unresolved accessibility gaps create legal exposure and risk excluding residents with disabilities from essential public services.
The opportunity
A hard federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 creates a defined window to act, and FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 makes near-term planning critical. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, broadens equitable service access, and aligns with active technology spending priorities.
