County Emergency Operations Plan Compliance & Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A state mandate requires the county to develop a new Emergency Operations Plan, yet critical gaps remain unaddressed amid significant leadership turnover in 911, the Fire Chief role, and the City Administrator position. These compounding factors elevate both compliance risk and operational continuity concerns for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Direct federal funding pathways with mid-2026 deadlines, alongside positive public safety budget allocations and the county's adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan, create a narrow and well-aligned window to act. Advancing EOP development now satisfies the state mandate, reduces operational risk, and positions the county to capture available grant funding before the cycle closes.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Cloud Security Integration
IT Modernization · Endpoint & Identity Security
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively procuring new server infrastructure while simultaneously migrating to a cloud productivity platform, creating integration gaps around endpoint management and identity security. Without a coordinated approach, this transition introduces operational risk and potential vulnerabilities across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
An active procurement cycle and ongoing cloud migration create a near-term window to address endpoint and identity security holistically, reducing rework and long-term costs. Aligning these investments now supports stewardship of public funds and positions the county for a more secure, manageable IT environment ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & DOJ Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Active discussions around website accessibility are being driven by DOJ compliance requirements, with document accessibility emerging as an additional mandate. Without remediation, the entity faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents from equitable access to public services.
The opportunity
DOJ-driven deadlines create defined legal and reputational risk, making near-term budget commitment both justified and urgent. This initiative aligns with current fiscal planning cycles and may be eligible for state cooperative purchasing programs, reducing procurement friction and cost.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Oversight Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Public and media scrutiny over fleet condition and delayed capital upgrades has elevated operational and reputational risk for the county. A planned rescue truck procurement and Sheriff's Office fleet needs signal gaps in vehicle oversight, telematics, and lifecycle management.
The opportunity
Confirmed capital project and vehicle purchase budget allocations create a timely entry point to address fleet visibility and safety gaps within the current fiscal cycle. Modernizing fleet oversight now reduces liability exposure, improves asset stewardship, and aligns with cooperative purchasing options available to the county.

Discuss this project →Mass Notification System Assessment and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An existing mass notification system is in place, but its current adequacy is unconfirmed amid 911 leadership turnover and a state-mandated Emergency Operations Plan development effort. These compounding gaps elevate risk to public safety communications and emergency response continuity.
The opportunity
The EOP development mandate and leadership transition create a natural window to assess and strengthen notification infrastructure, with BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in mid-2026 providing direct funding pathways. Acting now aligns with the compliance cycle and supports improved outcomes for residents and first responders.
