Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Compliance Mandates
High Priority
About this project
A state-level mandate requires all digital content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 24, 2026, with no plan or technology currently in place. A recent website consolidation in February 2026 has widened existing accessibility gaps, increasing legal and compliance exposure for the county.
The opportunity
An active procurement is already underway, and the hard April 2026 deadline creates immediate urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing pathways are confirmed, reducing procurement lead time and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's EOP is outdated and under active revision, while recent 911 Director turnover has introduced operational continuity risk. Mass notification gaps — including townships without tornado siren coverage — and a pending NIMS compliance mandate tied to preparedness funding eligibility compound the urgency.
The opportunity
Aligned grant programs, including a window closing in July 2026, create a near-term funding path with limited local match required. Acting now positions the county to close preparedness gaps, satisfy NIMS compliance, and protect residents before the next severe weather season.
Public Safety Facility & Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A secured $350,000 state appropriation is driving near-term procurement decisions for a new Public Safety Facility, while the 911 server room UPS system presents a critical infrastructure gap with direct risk to emergency operations continuity. Addressing both needs together ensures uninterrupted 911 services and positions the county for compliant, mission-ready facilities.
The opportunity
The active state appropriation provides a defined funding source with near-term project timelines, creating a clear window to bundle facility and infrastructure procurement efficiently. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk, supports emergency preparedness mandates, and maximizes the impact of secured public funds.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Emergency Vehicle Safety
Fleet Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
A newly delivered fire apparatus fleet currently operates without telematics or dash camera systems, creating gaps in incident documentation and preventative monitoring. For an emergency fleet serving the public, this absence elevates operational and liability risk before standard practices are established.
The opportunity
The window following new apparatus delivery is the optimal moment to implement fleet monitoring before operational habits form, avoiding costly retrofits later. This project aligns with public safety stewardship goals and may be eligible for existing public safety facility funding or cooperative procurement vehicles already in use.

Discuss this project →Endpoint & Identity Security for M365 Migration
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A planned transition to Microsoft 365 introduces new endpoint management and identity security requirements that must be addressed to protect government systems and staff credentials. Without complementary controls in place, the migration creates elevated risk of unauthorized access and unmanaged devices across county operations.
The opportunity
The active M365 migration timeline creates a natural integration point for embedding endpoint and identity security into the rollout, reducing retrofit costs and implementation risk. Aligning this effort with the current fiscal planning cycle supports responsible stewardship of public IT funds and strengthens long-term operational resilience.
