Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Hazard Mitigation Plan has expired, a recent flood disaster has exposed critical response gaps, and the current mass notification system remains unverified. These deficiencies create immediate compliance risk and leave residents vulnerable to inadequately managed hazards and delayed emergency communications.
The opportunity
An active Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update signals near-term procurement readiness, and confirmed budget allocations for emergency management technology align with the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, satisfies state emergency management mandates, and leverages available public safety funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system is unverified and potentially unreliable, posing serious risk to timely resident and staff alerting during emergencies. Compounding this, an expired Hazard Mitigation Plan and a recent flood disaster underscore the urgency of closing documented emergency preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
An active, budget-approved initiative and ongoing fiscal-year planning create a near-term window to act. Emergency management funding allocations and cooperative purchasing programs already in place support a streamlined, cost-effective path to modernizing alerting capabilities and strengthening community resilience.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active Texas cybersecurity mandates require centralized credential protection and endpoint management — capabilities the department has identified as gaps. Without action, the agency faces elevated compliance risk and operational exposure across its IT environment.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program is an open funding path directly applicable to cybersecurity and endpoint management initiatives. With budget finalization underway and active procurement momentum in the department, this is an optimal window to advance a funded, compliant solution.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 430-vehicle municipal fleet currently operates without telematics, creating measurable safety and financial liability exposure. Documented fleet-involved accidents and an active loss-control focus underscore the urgency of closing this gap to protect staff, residents, and public assets.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved or actively seeking funding, with cooperative purchasing vehicles already in place to streamline and accelerate procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces liability risk, supports loss-control goals, and positions the department to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a non-discretionary compliance obligation under ADA Title II, requiring public-facing digital content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. Unaddressed gaps create legal exposure and risk excluding residents from equitable access to government services and information.
The opportunity
ADA Title II enforcement timelines make this a near-term, non-optional priority for public agencies. Cooperative purchasing programs already in place can accelerate procurement, and remediation efforts may align with existing IT and digital services budget allocations in the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Credential & Privileged Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas cybersecurity mandates and an identified gap in centralized credential management expose departmental systems to unauthorized access and compliance risk. Without structured privileged access controls, sensitive public safety data and operational systems remain vulnerable.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program is an open funding path for this initiative, and active IT modernization priorities with a healthy IT budget support near-term action. New executive leadership creates a timely window to advance evaluation and align with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
