Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & Consolidate Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 1998, and a fragmented mass notification stack reliant on registration-based platforms creates significant reach and reliability gaps. Active FEMA/EMPG grant compliance requirements elevate the urgency to modernize and consolidate emergency management infrastructure before the next review cycle.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program deadline in July 2026 and active FY2027 budget preparation create a near-term window to fund modernization with limited local match. Consolidating systems now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community-wide notification reach, and aligns with a new city leadership transition receptive to operational improvements.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
Following a total-loss apparatus accident in October 2025 and the February 2026 acquisition of a new heavy rescue truck, the department's fleet lacks integrated telematics or dash camera coverage, leaving post-incident documentation and driver coaching capabilities unaddressed. Without visibility into vehicle operations, the department faces ongoing liability exposure and evidence gaps that increase risk to personnel, the public, and fiscal stewardship.
The opportunity
A new state fire equipment grant program and the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), with a July 2026 deadline, offer viable funding paths for fleet safety investments. Acting within the current grant window and FY planning cycle allows the department to close documentation gaps, reduce liability, and strengthen operational accountability across its growing apparatus fleet.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website has identified WCAG/Section 508 accessibility gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. A hard compliance deadline of 2027 compresses the remediation window, elevating risk if planning and procurement are not initiated promptly.
The opportunity
The fixed 2027 deadline creates a defined procurement window, making now the right time to stage remediation by risk severity across fiscal years to manage budget impact. This project is eligible for alignment with current IT modernization funding and supports equitable, legally compliant digital service delivery for all residents.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Emergency Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active Hazard Mitigation Plan update and an $8M public safety building investment—backed largely by federal grant funding—signal a critical moment in emergency preparedness planning. Fragmented mass notification systems and an aging emergency operations framework elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Federal grant alignment, active EMPG compliance requirements, and FY2027 budget preparation create a narrow window to consolidate emergency management infrastructure and close critical preparedness gaps. Acting now maximizes eligible funding, reduces continuity risk, and strengthens coordinated response capacity across the community.
