Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Operations Plan is of unknown age and review status, while recurring severe weather events continue to expose coordination gaps. A fragmented split between city-level alerts and county EMS dispatch undermines unified response, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An active state grant for fire and rescue equipment creates an immediate funding window, and the FY2027 budget cycle reflects growing software investment across departments. Consolidating notification and dispatch systems now strengthens preparedness, reduces compliance exposure, and aligns with available funding pathways.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a mandated Texas annual cybersecurity training and compliance certification deadline of August 31, 2026, with an identified gap in centralized credential management. Without action, the entity risks non-compliance, elevated cyber exposure, and potential disruption to public services across multiple departments.
The opportunity
The August 2026 deadline creates clear near-term urgency, and the FY2027 budget already reflects a $50,000+ increase in Software Services signaling executive readiness to invest. The FY 2026 JAG Local Formula grant program offers a viable funding path, and acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the entity to meet compliance, reduce risk, and steward public funds responsibly.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a centralized endpoint management solution despite a growing Dell device footprint across Admin, Court, and Water & Sewer departments, creating gaps in IT oversight, security visibility, and operational continuity. A Texas annual cybersecurity training and compliance certification deadline of August 2026 further elevates risk for unmanaged endpoints.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2027 budget reflects over $50,000 in Software Services increases, and the FY2026 JAG Local Formula grant offers a viable funding path — making this an ideal window to close oversight gaps and meet compliance mandates before the fiscal cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by 2028, and a potential shift away from the current third-party provider signals a critical transition point. Non-compliance exposes the entity to legal liability and limits equitable digital access for residents.
The opportunity
An in-house rebuild under consideration creates a near-term decision window to embed accessibility standards from the ground up, avoiding costly retrofits later. Acting ahead of the compliance deadline aligns with FY planning cycles and supports broader software services investment already reflected in the proposed budget.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
This emergency-response entity operates a combination/volunteer model with significant vehicle and equipment assets but lacks dash-camera and telematics controls. Without documented monitoring, the fleet presents a preventive safety gap that exposes the agency to operational and liability risk before an incident occurs.
The opportunity
A Police Department Capital Outlay increase signals an active vehicle-related investment window, and cooperative purchasing options may streamline procurement within current budget cycles. Acting proactively reduces incident-driven mandates and supports responsible stewardship of public safety assets.
