Strengthen Local Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan, relying on county-level guidance while recent flooding and infrastructure failures have exposed local communication and coordination gaps. NIMS compliance, hazard mitigation planning, and resilience initiatives are active mandates, elevating operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The active FY2026-27 budget cycle and Homeland Security grant deadlines in July 2026 create a critical 90-day window to secure funding and advance this project. Addressing preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with state-level increases in public safety funding.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Modernization Initiative
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city has a budget-approved initiative to strengthen cybersecurity and replace aging computing equipment, guided by a completed Security Risk Assessment. Basic endpoint protection, password hygiene, and cybersecurity policy compliance are identified as top-priority urgency drivers, with current vendor coverage unknown.
The opportunity
An active FY2026–27 budget cycle with public hearings and an immediate computer replacement need create a clear near-term spending window. JAG and COPS TEP grant deadlines in July 2026 offer eligible funding pathways, making this the right moment to close compliance gaps and reduce operational risk.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active state-level mandates requiring WCAG 2.1 compliance across public-facing digital properties, with ongoing gaps creating legal and reputational risk. A budget-approved initiative for website maintenance and support confirms organizational readiness, but unresolved accessibility barriers limit equitable access for all residents.
The opportunity
The current FY2026–27 budget cycle and active state compliance timelines create an immediate window to remediate accessibility gaps and reduce liability exposure. This project is eligible for cooperative purchasing vehicles already in use, enabling faster procurement and responsible stewardship of public funds.

Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The city's police fleet currently operates without a telematics or dashcam solution, leaving the agency without evidentiary documentation for pursuits and incidents. This gap creates measurable liability exposure and limits the city's ability to defend operational decisions or demonstrate officer accountability.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS TEP grant funding explicitly covering law enforcement equipment is set to expire in July 2026, creating a near-term window to act. The city's existing cooperative purchasing memberships support a streamlined procurement path, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment within the current budget cycle.
Mass Notification System Enhancement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent flooding and a water main break have exposed gaps in the city's mass notification coverage, integration, and coordination workflows. Without a city-specific Emergency Operations Plan or fully integrated alerting capabilities, residents and staff face elevated risk during time-sensitive incidents.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–27 budget cycle and Homeland Security grant programs (HSGP, BRIC) provide a timely funding pathway for notification enhancements tied to broader emergency preparedness. Addressing these gaps now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens public communication, and reduces operational risk ahead of the next incident.
