Police HQ & Emergency Operations Center Construction
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The city's current Emergency Operations Center is undersized and the Emergency Operations Plan review cycle is unverified, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. Integrating a new Police Headquarters with a co-located EOC and Public Safety Dispatch is identified as a top strategic priority to close these gaps.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget explicitly prioritizes public safety, a Homeland Security Grant for emergency management equipment has been accepted, and a Capital Improvement Program is already underway — aligning funding, timing, and strategic intent. Acting within the current budget adoption window maximizes available resources and reduces continuity risk for residents and first responders.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system has unverified coverage and an unknown renewal status, creating critical gaps in emergency communication reliability. With a new Police HQ and integrated EOC underway, unresolved notification gaps elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget adoption window (September 2026) and an awarded Homeland Security Grant create a near-term funding path for this initiative. Acting now aligns with the EOC buildout timeline, supports emergency management compliance mandates, and ensures communication infrastructure keeps pace with expanding public safety operations.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Remediation & Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A significant cyber-event in October 2025 created an immediate remediation trigger, exposing gaps in password management and IT security posture. Active Texas cybersecurity mandates and compliance requirements elevate operational risk to service delivery and public trust.
The opportunity
The JAG Local Formula grant (deadline October 2026) offers a direct funding path for IT management and cybersecurity improvements, with FY27 budget adoption approaching in September 2026. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with both grant eligibility and fiscal planning cycles.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified IT and cybersecurity modernization as a strategic priority, encompassing fiber expansion, backup and recovery, and technology refresh. A recent cyber-event has elevated remediation urgency, and active state cybersecurity mandates require demonstrated compliance to protect public operations and data.
The opportunity
The JAG Local Formula grant (deadline October 2026) offers a near-term funding path for IT management initiatives, and the FY27 budget cycle—with a projected increase in the High-Technology Replacement Fund—provides additional alignment. Acting within this window positions the city to reduce operational risk and meet compliance requirements before the budget adoption deadline.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics Expansion & Transportation Safety
Fleet Safety · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
Documented fleet-involved accidents, elevated auto-claim costs, and driver behavior concerns signal significant safety and liability exposure for the city. An active vehicle replacement program and existing telematics infrastructure make this an expansion opportunity with established operational context.
The opportunity
The ongoing fleet digitization initiative and vehicle replacement cycle create a natural window to expand telematics coverage with minimal disruption. The FY27 budget prioritizes public safety and technology, and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Federal web accessibility mandates require WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2027, and current digital portals fall short of that standard. This gap creates legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to essential city services.
The opportunity
The FY27 budget adoption window in September 2026 provides a natural funding moment to initiate procurement well ahead of the April 2027 deadline. Acting now allows sufficient time for implementation, testing, and staff readiness while reducing compliance and legal risk.
