Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity currently lacks an all-hazards Emergency Operations Plan and a mass notification system, while recent severe weather event declarations have exposed critical preparedness gaps. Ongoing compliance with Texas Water Code/SB 3 mandates an active Emergency Preparedness Plan, and AWIA assessments signal additional regulatory obligations for water infrastructure resilience.
The opportunity
With $101M in disaster recovery funding already allocated and technology investments included in the proposed FY2027 budget, the conditions for advancing this initiative are strong. Transitional leadership and active compliance mandates create a timely window to close preparedness gaps, protect residents, and align with state and federal funding eligibility.

Cybersecurity & Identity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active compliance mandates require password security controls and annual training completion by August 31, 2026, while pending audits across cybersecurity, ERP, and data/device security expose operational risk. Strategic gaps in vulnerability remediation, SOC modernization, and MFA implementation—compounded by an expiring security contract in November 2026—demand near-term action.
The opportunity
A proposed FY2027 budget allocation of $8.4M for cybersecurity signals strong institutional commitment and procurement readiness. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns remediation efforts with compliance deadlines, audit timelines, and contract transition milestones—reducing risk while maximizing use of approved public funds.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Management Modernization
Fleet Management · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Documented vehicle condition issues and the absence of formal telematics create operational gaps in fleet oversight, preventive maintenance, and asset accountability. Active initiatives around EV infrastructure, GPS implementation, and fleet modernization signal readiness but underscore the need for a formalized, integrated approach.
The opportunity
Existing budget commitment and ongoing fleet modernization initiatives position this as a near-term priority aligned with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Purchases within the informal procurement threshold may proceed without a formal bid process, reducing administrative burden and accelerating implementation timelines.
Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a federally mandated ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible digital services for all residents. A web accessibility roadmap is identified as a strategic priority, and gaps in current digital infrastructure elevate legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 compliance deadline creates a clear procurement window, and ARPA Local Fiscal Recovery Funds have been identified as an eligible funding path for website accessibility and technology modernization. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for phased implementation, audit readiness, and equitable public service delivery.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Pending audits for ERP, data, and device security—combined with an outsourced service transition—have exposed gaps in endpoint protection and IT service management. Without structured remediation, the city faces elevated operational risk and potential compliance findings ahead of scheduled security reviews.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget allocations for IT platforms and cybersecurity are approved, and an expiring cloud security contract creates a near-term procurement window. Acting now aligns with audit timelines, active compliance mandates, and positions the city to close security gaps before the next review cycle.
