Fleet Telematics & In-Cab Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks in-cab video and telematics capabilities, a gap explicitly linked to elevated litigation risk following a $3.25M vehicle accident and paramedic negligence settlement. Active fleet replacement initiatives—including ambulance and engine procurements—are funded and underway, creating a timely integration point.
The opportunity
Ongoing capital and public safety budget allocations provide a clear funding path, and the active fleet replacement cycle offers a natural entry point to address safety and liability gaps now. New Fire Department leadership in 2025 and strong FY2025–26 public safety spending signal readiness to evaluate modern fleet safety solutions.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has documented gaps in emergency preparedness, including uncertain EOP review status, a fragmented mass notification ecosystem, and active initiatives to replace PA/alerting systems and upgrade backup power infrastructure. These deficiencies elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs are actively available to fund emergency management technology, and new departmental leadership presents a timely window for solution evaluation. Aligning this project with the current FY2025-26 budget cycle—where public safety is the largest General Fund priority—maximizes funding potential and strengthens community preparedness outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The absence of a current, reviewed Emergency Operations Plan represents a critical preparedness and compliance gap, directly elevating operational risk for the department. This deficiency is a top urgency driver, leaving staff, residents, and response coordination vulnerable in the event of an emergency.
The opportunity
EOP establishment is an identified funded strategic initiative, and new Fire and Emergency Management leadership in 2025 creates a timely opening to formalize planning frameworks. FEMA grant programs, including hazard mitigation and preparedness funding, may offset costs and align with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's current mass notification ecosystem is split, with staff and internal communications covered but resident-facing alerting identified as a gap. This inconsistency creates operational risk during emergencies and undermines equitable, timely communication to the public.
The opportunity
A mid-June IT renewal decision window, combined with an established budget precedent for notification systems and FEMA grant eligibility (BRIC, HSGP), creates a timely path to consolidate coverage. Acting now closes a documented preparedness gap and strengthens community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Confirmed use of Microsoft 365 and Esri GIS creates technology overlap and potential security exposure, while no consolidated endpoint management or credential security solution is in place. This gap leaves critical public safety infrastructure and sensitive data without a unified, verified layer of protection.
The opportunity
With public safety representing the largest General Fund expenditure at $62.7M, financial capacity and budget prioritization are already established for this fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and credential security now reduces operational and litigation risk while aligning with an open competitive landscape and upcoming IT renewal windows.
