Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a city-level Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county mass notification systems with potential messaging gaps, and recent severe weather events have exposed operational weaknesses. NIMS adoption and overdue EOP review mandates elevate compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Active HSGP grant funding and a county-level Hazard Mitigation Plan update create immediate momentum for advancing emergency preparedness investments. Addressing critical EOP gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current grant cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on a county-level mass notification system, creating gaps in jurisdiction-specific emergency messaging and limiting timely, targeted communication during incidents. This dependency, combined with the absence of a city-level EOP and recent severe weather exposure, elevates both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
HSGP funding provides a viable pathway to address emergency preparedness gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens city-level response capabilities, supports NIMS compliance, and reduces the operational risk exposed by recent incidents.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A documented ambulance accident resulting in repair costs, vehicle rental, and workers' compensation claims highlights an immediate fleet safety gap. The absence of any dash camera or telematics policy leaves the city without data to manage liability, driver behavior, or operational risk.
The opportunity
COPS TEP and JAG grant programs provide direct funding pathways for fleet safety technology, and cooperative purchasing agreements are available to streamline procurement. Acting within the current grant cycle and upcoming fiscal planning window supports a proposed 5-year fleet replacement strategy while reducing insurance exposure and protecting public employees.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has documented WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, creating continuous legal exposure and barriers to resident access. These deficiencies remain unresolved, elevating risk with each passing budget cycle.
The opportunity
With the spring/early summer budget cycle approaching, now is the right moment to remediate persistent compliance gaps before legal exposure escalates. Addressing accessibility proactively protects residents, reduces liability, and aligns with available funding pathways for digital equity initiatives.
Endpoint Security and Cybersecurity Hardening for Public Safety
Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The Police Division faces cybersecurity compliance requirements with no confirmed endpoint management solution in place, creating measurable operational and security risk. The absence of an incumbent system signals an unaddressed gap that exposes sensitive public safety data and infrastructure to potential threats.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding provides a direct pathway to finance IT and cybersecurity investments with limited local budget impact, aligning well with the city's upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Acting now allows the city to close a documented security gap, meet compliance expectations, and strengthen public safety operations before the grant window closes.
