Emergency Operations Plan Review and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The city's EOP has an unknown review status, creating compliance exposure under Texas Government Code §418.106, NIMS adoption requirements, and current TDEM planning standards. A recent Fire Chief transition — who also serves as Emergency Management Coordinator — has introduced leadership continuity risk, elevating urgency to validate and update the plan.
The opportunity
The approved FY2027 budget ($56.6M) opens an immediate funding and implementation window, and cooperative procurement vehicles are already in place to streamline acquisition. Acting now aligns with the incoming leadership's priority-setting window and positions the city to close compliance gaps before the next review cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently operates two separate emergency notification platforms, creating fragmented outreach, inconsistent resident alerting, and gaps in unified mass communication during critical incidents. Combined with a recent leadership transition in emergency management and unresolved EOP review status, operational and compliance risk under Texas Government Code §418.106 and NIMS standards is elevated.
The opportunity
The West U READY modernization initiative is an explicitly funded priority within the approved FY2027 budget, creating an active implementation window. Cooperative procurement pathways are already in place, reducing acquisition timelines and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.
Dispatch Radio Infrastructure Refresh Before 2027 End-of-Life
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Dispatch radio equipment is approaching end-of-life in 2027, posing a critical communications reliability risk for fire and emergency response operations. Failure to act creates exposure to communications outages during active incidents, threatening public safety and operational continuity.
The opportunity
The 2027 end-of-life deadline establishes a firm procurement window, with FY2027 budget approval and the FY2026 communications and disaster-recovery package providing funding alignment. Cooperative purchasing agreements available to the Fire Department further reduce procurement friction and accelerate timelines.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising auto liability and physical damage insurance premiums signal unaddressed fleet safety gaps, with dash camera and telematics coverage only partially deployed across city vehicles. Incomplete incident documentation and limited driver accountability expose the city to growing financial and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2026 fleet and emergency-response vehicle replacement program is actively funded, and the Safe Streets and Roads for All federal grant presents an eligible funding pathway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces insurance liability, strengthens driver accountability, and supports the city's adopted safety action plan priorities.

Discuss this project →Modernize Endpoint Security and Cybersecurity Compliance
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent IT policy update for CJIS compliance signals an evolving cybersecurity posture requiring modernized endpoint management, identity and credential security, and disaster recovery capabilities. Gaps in these areas expose the city to operational risk, audit findings, and potential non-compliance with criminal justice data handling standards.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget lines explicitly fund IT modernization, endpoint management, and disaster recovery, with over $2.6M in annual IT and software spend confirming available capacity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with approved appropriations and reduces compounding compliance and operational risk.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, across public-facing digital portals. Unresolved accessibility gaps in existing digital infrastructure create legal exposure and restrict equitable resident access to essential city services.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 deadline and recently approved FY2027 budget with increased IT spending create a clear, time-bound window to fund and execute remediation. Acting now allows for phased implementation, reduces legal risk, and ensures all residents can access public services without barrier.
