Cybersecurity & IT Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A DHS/CISA audit identified serious gaps in backup strategy and flagged the need for additional cybersecurity personnel, while a CJIS Security Policy compliance deadline of March 2027 and a firewall renewal due December 2026 compound operational and regulatory risk. Incumbent tools for password management and IT monitoring present consolidation opportunities as new IT leadership prepares to scale capacity.
The opportunity
Converging deadlines — CJIS compliance, firewall renewal, and the FY2026-27 budget cycle — create a near-term window to act with strong funding support; BJA JAG and HSGP grants explicitly permit cybersecurity and IT management expenditures. With IT budget increases and new leadership in place, this is an optimal moment to close audit gaps, reduce compliance risk, and strengthen public-sector service continuity.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Safety & Patrol Vehicle Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent fatal pedestrian collision involving a police vehicle has exposed a formal crash-evidence and driver-monitoring gap, triggering public scrutiny and accountability pressure. Active strategic initiatives for patrol-fleet and fleet-services facility modernization, alongside a Safe Streets and Roads for All plan, underscore the urgency of closing these safety and operational gaps.
The opportunity
The FY2026-27 budget includes substantial capital investment in fleet, and an active law enforcement grant provides a potential funding pathway for vehicle-related technology. Acting now aligns procurement with budget cycles, supports cooperative purchasing options, and directly advances officer accountability and pedestrian safety outcomes.
Detection and Apprehension Phase 2
Discuss this project →ADA Digital Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's active Digital Accessibility and ADA Transition Program faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance by April 2027, with full conformance by April 2028. Gaps in document and PDF accessibility across public-facing digital portals create legal exposure and inequitable access for residents.
The opportunity
The April 2027 federal compliance deadline is non-discretionary, making near-term action essential to avoid legal and reputational risk. The FY2026-27 budget increase and existing cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined, cost-effective procurement path to close accessibility gaps now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current emergency notification system lacks the speed required for severe weather warnings, and repeated major flooding incidents have exposed gaps in initial damage assessment procedures. Emergency management plan compliance mandates are unmet, elevating risk to residents and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The HSGP grant provides a direct funding pathway for emergency-coordination technology, and the FY2026-27 capital budget includes allocations for emergency response improvements. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, reduces public safety risk, and aligns with an established budget cycle.
