Emergency Operations Plan & Communications System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Critical emergency preparedness gaps persist, including an undocumented EOP status and a fragmented communications ecosystem where mass notification operates separately from 9-1-1 CAD systems. Recent high-profile incidents under external investigation, combined with immediate NIMS compliance and EOP update mandates, elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Budget approval for CAD-to-CAD integration and notification enhancements is confirmed, and a leadership transition creates a timely window for strategic realignment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle advances NIMS compliance, closes documented preparedness gaps, and strengthens community resilience with funding already positioned for near-term investment.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
PCI compliance gaps in network infrastructure and a fragmented IT management toolset expose the city to regulatory and operational risk. A formal strategic initiative to strengthen IT Security Department capabilities is underway, with CTO-level leadership transition adding urgency to governance continuity.
The opportunity
FY2026-27 budgets reflect a 37.74% increase in IT Security spending, confirming funded readiness to act. PCI compliance deadlines and an active leadership transition create a narrow window to advance procurement, reduce risk, and establish a more resilient, consolidated security posture before the next fiscal cycle closes.

IT Modernization · Infrastructure & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The city's IT environment is fragmented across multiple vendors, creating integration inefficiencies and elevated operational risk. With IT Infrastructure and IT Support budgets increasing 10.73% and 26.85% respectively for FY2026-27, and a leadership transition underway, the current stack is overdue for strategic consolidation.
The opportunity
Confirmed FY2026-27 budget increases and an active leadership transition create a natural window to rationalize IT management tools and reduce long-term costs. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the city to improve service continuity, reduce redundancy, and align procurement with available funding—including grants eligible for technology improvement initiatives.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Program Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
GPS and fleet asset management systems are funded and operational, but the absence of telematics and driver monitoring leaves a measurable safety gap. Rising fire apparatus insurance costs and a documented defect on a new truck elevate financial and operational risk for the city's fleet program.
The opportunity
Active fleet investment and an existing contract framework create a low-friction path to expand telematics capabilities within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this gap now supports apparatus safety, may reduce insurance exposure, and aligns with fire department leadership transition planning.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance for Public Digital Platforms
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital platforms are currently non-compliant with web accessibility standards, creating a defined compliance gap with a future deadline. Without remediation, residents with disabilities face barriers to essential city services, and the city risks regulatory exposure as the deadline approaches.
The opportunity
A broader digital platform modernization initiative already underway provides a natural entry point to address accessibility remediation within the current planning cycle. Acting ahead of the compliance deadline reduces legal and reputational risk while improving equitable access to public services for all residents.
