Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately 10 years old and overdue for update, creating SHSP grant eligibility exposure and leaving unfunded gaps in mass-notification, IPAWS integration, and wildfire mitigation. NIMS adoption requirements and a shared notification platform with Sherman County further elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The upcoming tax-rate adoption and fiscal decision window in September 2026 creates a near-term budget authorization opportunity, while active public safety grant pursuit supports funding pathways for modernization. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community warning capabilities, restores grant eligibility, and reduces operational risk for residents and first responders.
Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The volunteer fire department's heavy apparatus fleet lacks documented visibility and structured maintenance monitoring, creating measurable liability and operational risk. Budgeted risk pool insurance signals awareness of exposure, but without telematics or driver safety tools, gaps in accountability and incident prevention remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY 2025–2026 budget includes $172,500 in capital outlay and $240,000 in grant proceeds designated for fleet and apparatus modernization, with a fiscal authorization window approaching in September 2026. Acting now aligns investment with available funding, reduces insurance and liability exposure, and strengthens operational readiness for a department serving the public with limited staffing resources.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's public-facing website has documented gaps against the federal ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to digital services. The current platform lacks the capability needed to meet compliance requirements, elevating remediation urgency.
The opportunity
The April 26, 2028 federal compliance deadline creates a firm remediation timeline, and the September 2026 fiscal decision window offers a near-term opportunity to authorize budget before costs and risk escalate. Acting now supports equitable service delivery and positions the city ahead of enforcement exposure.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Password Management Compliance Remediation
Cybersecurity · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Texas cybersecurity mandates require documented password management practices, yet no current solution is in place, creating direct regulatory exposure. This gap leaves the organization vulnerable to audit findings and incident reporting non-compliance under state obligations.
The opportunity
The September 2026 fiscal decision window aligns with budget authorization timing, and the project falls within informal procurement thresholds, supporting a streamlined path to compliance. Acting now closes a documented regulatory gap before the next audit or reporting cycle.

Discuss this project →Creative & Document Software Renewal and Expansion
IT Modernization · Document Management
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified creative and document software procurement as an active strategic initiative, with renewal or expansion needs tied to ongoing operational workflows. Without a structured procurement plan, continuity of critical document and design functions is at risk heading into the next fiscal period.
The opportunity
The September 2026 fiscal decision window and proposed FY 2025–2026 budget alignment create a near-term opportunity to authorize software renewal or expansion. Cooperative purchasing vehicles available to Texas local government entities can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden.
