Emergency Notification & Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent tornado exposed critical gaps in resident alerting, caused by a split mass notification setup across two platforms and an unpublicized Emergency Operations Plan. An ongoing Emergency Management Coordinator transition, combined with Texas state and NIMS compliance mandates, elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget hearings in September 2026 represent an immediate funding decision point, with existing public safety tech spend already on record. Consolidating notification systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next severe weather season.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An approved cybersecurity grant mandates implementation of controls for default credentials and endpoint detection and response, yet capability gaps persist despite existing password monitoring and mobile device management spending. Documented reliability and security issues with in-car camera systems further expose endpoint vulnerabilities, elevating operational and compliance risk for public safety personnel.
The opportunity
An approved cybersecurity grant provides a ready funding pathway, and the FY2027 budget reflects continued investment in IT and public safety technology. The BJA FY 2026 JAG program deadline creates near-term urgency for procurement decisions, making this an optimal window to close compliance gaps and strengthen endpoint security across public safety operations.

About this project
The department's 32-vehicle fleet operates with no telematics solution, creating an unmonitored gap in driver safety, asset visibility, and operational accountability. Existing in-vehicle camera systems have been flagged for unreliability and insecure software, elevating both officer safety and cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
FY2027 capital equipment funding for patrol vehicles and camera systems is already proposed and approved, creating a near-term procurement window. The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority grant may provide supplemental funding support, and cooperative purchasing contracts offer a streamlined path to acquisition.

High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website shows no evidence of conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. With no active remediation effort underway, the compliance gap is growing as the 2028 federal deadline approaches.
The opportunity
A contract renewal window in November 2026 and upcoming FY2027 budget hearings in September 2026 create an immediate, time-sensitive procurement and funding decision point. Acting now allows the city to align platform transition with budget cycles and avoid costly emergency remediation closer to the compliance deadline.

High Priority
About this project
The department's FY2027 budget includes approved capital allocations for patrol vehicles, security cameras, and body-worn camera systems, alongside IT and endpoint infrastructure upgrades. Aging and unreliable camera systems present operational and officer safety risks that this initiative is designed to address.
The opportunity
Budget approval is already secured, and upcoming FY2027 hearings represent an immediate decision milestone for procurement action. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and accelerate deployment timelines.
