Unified Emergency Notification & Mass Alert Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including a jurisdiction-wide notification failure and a fragmented mass alert system operating across two disconnected platforms. Texas mandates for an verified Emergency Operations Plan, NIMS compliance, and PIO certification remain unresolved, elevating public safety and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
The proposed FY2026–2027 budget allocates $39M in capital expenditures toward public safety communications, with a budget hearing on September 22, 2026 serving as a near-term decision window. Acting now aligns procurement with active funding, the Unified Dispatch Center buildout, and regional NG911 modernization priorities.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active compliance mandates requiring annual cybersecurity training and 48-hour incident reporting, while operating without a centralized endpoint management platform. A legacy IT management system and a newly posted IT Manager role signal growing operational risk and an urgent need for modernization.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly covers IT management, cybersecurity, and endpoint protection, offering a direct federal funding pathway. With an active IT budget and a critical leadership hire underway, this fiscal cycle presents an ideal window to reduce compliance exposure and strengthen citywide cyber resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2028, creating a defined legal and accessibility compliance deadline. Unaddressed gaps expose the city to ADA-related legal risk and limit equitable digital access for residents.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline establishes a clear procurement window, and active investment in digital services signals organizational readiness to act. Addressing compliance now allows sufficient time for remediation, aligns with the upcoming FY2026–2027 budget cycle, and supports equitable public access to city services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Pilot
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a comprehensive telematics platform, creating a significant gap in fleet visibility, safety management, and liability documentation. General liability claims and an active patrol-SUV procurement are driving urgency to establish a structured, data-informed approach to vehicle safety.
The opportunity
The ongoing patrol-SUV procurement creates a natural, cost-efficient entry point for a telematics pilot, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate the process within the current budget cycle. Federal resilience-focused grant programs may offer indirect funding pathways when the project is framed within a broader public safety initiative.

Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including annual training requirements and 48-hour incident reporting obligations—alongside identified gaps in credential and identity protection within its security posture. Without structured password and secrets management, municipal systems and sensitive data remain exposed to preventable breaches and audit risk.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly identifies cybersecurity and endpoint protection as eligible expenditures, offering a near-term funding pathway. With an IT Manager role newly filled and technology priorities being set, this is an optimal window to close compliance gaps and strengthen identity security before the next budget cycle.
