Cybersecurity Incident Response & Prevention
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent attempted breach by a foreign threat actor has exposed critical gaps in endpoint protection and credential management, creating immediate operational risk. Fragmented security controls and reliance on reactive incident response leave city systems and public data vulnerable to future ransomware or intrusion events.
The opportunity
The breach itself serves as a funded trigger for action, with existing IT and public safety technology budgets available to support remediation. Addressing endpoint and credential management gaps now reduces operational risk, strengthens continuity of public services, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Emergency Operations Plan Compliance for Community Water Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
South Paris Water Co-op lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, placing it out of compliance with Tennessee's mandated review cycle for community water systems. The overdue status creates documented regulatory risk and leaves critical water infrastructure without a formalized response framework.
The opportunity
The compliance-driven nature of this gap provides a non-discretionary justification for action, supported by an existing emergency management and public safety tech spend exceeding $225,000. Addressing the EOP now aligns with the active initiative to establish a 911 Backup Facility and strengthens overall community resilience.
Mass Notification System for Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
South Paris Water Co-op currently has no mass-notification system in place, compounding an already overdue Emergency Operations Plan gap. Together, these deficiencies leave the utility without a compliant, coordinated emergency communication capability required for community water systems in Tennessee.
The opportunity
A funded 911 Backup Facility initiative and identified public safety budget create a timely opening to address emergency communication gaps within the current planning cycle. Acting now closes a compliance exposure, strengthens coordinated response, and protects public health and service continuity for residents served by the utility.
911 Backup Facility Build-Out
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City has a funded initiative underway to construct a 911 Emergency Communications Dispatch Backup Facility, a critical infrastructure project to ensure continuity of emergency operations. Without a resilient backup capability, a single point of failure in dispatch communications poses significant public safety risk.
The opportunity
This project is actively funded and in progress, creating a near-term window to align communications, alerting, and operations technologies with the build-out. Engagement now supports continuity planning, leverages the existing $225,150 public safety tech investment, and strengthens community-wide emergency preparedness.
Fleet Vehicle Acquisition with Integrated Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city is actively procuring a new fleet vehicle for its Animal Shelter, creating a greenfield opportunity to establish fleet monitoring capabilities from the outset. No incumbent telematics solution is in place, and no fleet-related safety incidents or insurance issues have been identified.
The opportunity
With a funded vehicle acquisition already underway, this is a practical entry point to embed telematics alongside the hardware purchase rather than retrofit later. Acting within the current procurement cycle avoids duplicated costs and positions the city for improved asset visibility and operational accountability.
