Budget Readiness The city reports stable revenue in the 25 to 50 million range, suggesting room in the annual budget for selective IT modernization, digital services, and infrastructure upgrades. Procurements flow through the City Manager and City Commission, so align sales efforts with established procurement cycles and decision-makers.

Tourism Opportunity With almost one million visitors annually, there is demand for visitor management, digital wayfinding, event apps, and enhanced online services. The city could benefit from hospitality and smart-city solutions that improve tourism experience and operational efficiency during peak seasons.

Tech Modernization The tech stack includes Yoast SEO on WordPress, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, and older libraries like yepnope.js. This signals an opportunity to modernize the CMS, improve site performance and security, enhance analytics and dashboards, and expand accessibility and open data capabilities.

Procurement Access Purchasing authority resides with the City Manager and elected commissioners. Develop a targeted approach to engage city IT and procurement with clear ROI, RFPs for ERP, GIS, public safety, and citizen-service platforms to fit within the city’s fiscal prudence.

Community Services Active community programs, parks, and frequent events create a need for online service portals, permit management, digital forms, and citizen engagement tools to boost resident satisfaction and streamline operations.
