Modernize Emergency Operations and Mass Notification Coverage
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces documented gaps in its Emergency Operations Plan—with an unknown last review date—and a mass notification system delivering historically low alert coverage of 25–40%. Unresolved NIMS compliance requirements and an incumbent system of uncertain contract status compound operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget cycle, with Public Safety funding increasing 6.7% and approval expected September 2026, creates a near-term window to address these gaps. Incoming emergency management leadership signals openness to re-evaluation, making this the right moment to advance EOP compliance and expand community alert reach.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a hard April 2028 deadline to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards across all public-facing digital assets. Active website redesign and document accessibility initiatives are underway, but gaps in compliance readiness elevate legal and reputational risk for the public agency.
The opportunity
The April 2028 WCAG deadline is fixed and non-negotiable, making early action critical to avoid remediation costs and legal exposure. A proposed FY2027 IT budget increase of 17.5% signals available funding, and aligning this project with the current budget cycle maximizes investment impact and ensures timely compliance.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The entity's IT security posture is actively evolving, with strategic initiatives underway for infrastructure hardening, disaster recovery planning, and information security. The incumbent identity and multi-factor authentication environment presents operational gaps that elevate risk to public systems, staff access controls, and continuity of services.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes a 114.8% increase to the Technology Infrastructure and Security Fund, with dedicated line items for information security and security equipment—creating a rare, time-sensitive funding window. Acting ahead of budget approval aligns procurement with available appropriations and strengthens operational resilience across public-facing systems.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent police vehicle accidents resulting in officer injuries and media attention have elevated fleet safety as a documented operational risk. The current fleet management system is aging, and active sustainability initiatives signal readiness for a modernized, data-driven approach to vehicle oversight.
The opportunity
With an interim Public Works Director in place and FY2027 public safety budget increases on the horizon, this is a timely window to advance fleet telematics evaluation. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in use can accelerate procurement and reduce administrative burden.

Discuss this project →Modernize Public Safety Training and Digital Evidence Infrastructure
Public Safety · Digital Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The city has funded a strategic initiative to develop a new Public Safety Training Tower alongside a consolidation effort for digital evidence management, reflecting a broader technology upgrade agenda for law enforcement and fire operations. Fragmented systems and aging infrastructure create operational risk and complicate evidence integrity, training readiness, and inter-agency coordination.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a 6.7% increase in Public Safety funding and a 17.5% rise in IT expenditures, creating a well-timed window to advance both physical and digital infrastructure investments. Leadership transitions in fire and public works present an opportunity to align new priorities with funded initiatives before the upcoming budget cycle closes.
