Emergency Preparedness & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Significant preparedness gaps exist, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, unconfirmed mass alert coverage, and no public after-action review following a recent flood incident. NIMS compliance is mandated with a hard January 1, 2027 deadline, and a fragmented public safety software environment compounds operational and response risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget hearing this September, combined with a FEMA SAFER award and $32M in available excess funds, creates an immediate and well-resourced planning window. Addressing compliance gaps and EOP deficiencies now reduces liability, strengthens community resilience, and positions the jurisdiction ahead of the NIMS deadline.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fire apparatus telematics coverage gaps expose the city to scene-protection and evidence/liability risks, with no current system to document vehicle activity or support incident review. A newly hired Fleet Supervisor and active vehicle replacement initiative signal readiness to address maintenance efficiency and operational accountability.
The opportunity
With $32M in one-time funds earmarked for vehicle and equipment investment and a 27% budget increase proposed for FY 2026-27, the timing to advance fleet telematics is strong. Acting now aligns with the incoming Fleet Supervisor's priorities and existing GIS infrastructure, reducing liability exposure before gaps become incidents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively modernizing its IT environment with cloud identity and device management tools, while annual cybersecurity training remains a standing compliance requirement. Expanding infrastructure and endpoint complexity elevate risk exposure if security controls and management capabilities do not keep pace.
The opportunity
An upcoming software license renewal window and the FY 2026–27 budget cycle create a near-term planning opportunity to align cybersecurity investments with existing IT spend. The city's strong financial position and cooperative procurement vehicles support cost-effective, compliant acquisition of expanded security capabilities.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Current WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance status is unverified, and a mandatory upgrade to WCAG 2.1 Level AA is required by April 2028. Gaps in the existing CMS platform create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to digital services.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY 2026–27 budget hearing this September is an immediate window to secure funding for remediation planning ahead of the 2028 compliance deadline. Acting now reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with the city's active IT modernization priorities.
UAS Capability Enhancement for Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city has an active UASI grant application for unmanned aerial system (UAS) enhancement valued at up to $43,000, tied to emergency response operations. Funding is not yet confirmed, and gaps in emergency preparedness—including an unverified EOP and limited after-action documentation—elevate operational risk.
The opportunity
The in-progress UASI grant application creates a near-term procurement window aligned with the city's FY 2026-27 budget cycle and broader emergency management modernization priorities. Acting now positions the city to capture available federal funding and strengthen aerial response capabilities before the grant window closes.
