Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The District currently operates without a formal Emergency Operations Plan or district-managed mass notification system, despite significant flood exposure and recent severe storm declarations. These gaps present critical life-safety and operational continuity risks directly at odds with the District's core flood control mission.
The opportunity
Dedicated Disaster Funds and active FEMA reimbursement frameworks are already in place, and federal grant programs aligned with flood resilience and emergency preparedness offer additional funding pathways. Advancing this initiative now addresses urgent life-safety gaps and aligns with the current fiscal cycle and available grant windows.

Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The District operates an aging, maintenance-intensive heavy equipment fleet with no telematics, dash cameras, or incident-evidence capability, creating measurable operational safety gaps. Without real-time vehicle visibility or performance data, the District cannot proactively manage repair needs or document field incidents, despite carrying a significant repair budget.
The opportunity
A fleet and field-operations reliability initiative is already budget-approved, creating a clear procurement window within the current fiscal cycle. The PROTECT grant program aligns with transportation resilience needs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and protect public funds.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Texas state cybersecurity law mandates compliance by August 31, 2026, and the District currently lacks established IT and cybersecurity capabilities in password and endpoint management. The approved $150,000 capital outlay for computer replacement reinforces the urgency of closing these operational and regulatory gaps before the fiscal year closes.
The opportunity
The August 31, 2026 compliance deadline and the September 30, 2026 capital purchasing window create a single, time-bound opportunity to address both regulatory and infrastructure needs. The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) supports cybersecurity initiatives, offering a potential funding pathway that aligns with the District's current budget cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The District's public-facing digital portals do not currently meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. A federal compliance deadline of April 26, 2028 requires remediation, and early-stage planning is already underway through grant-funded strategic initiatives.
The opportunity
Grant funding identified in the District's strategic plan supports web accessibility efforts, making early engagement a fiscally sound approach. Beginning staged remediation now reduces legal risk, ensures equitable public access, and positions the District ahead of the compliance deadline within the current grant window.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The District's 2025–2026 budget includes $150,000 in approved capital outlay for computer and equipment replacement, addressing aging IT infrastructure. A Texas cybersecurity compliance mandate due August 2026 adds regulatory urgency to this already time-bound initiative.
The opportunity
With budget already approved and a fiscal-year deadline of September 30, 2026, the procurement window is firm and near-term. Acting now satisfies both capital planning and compliance obligations simultaneously, maximizing the value of allocated public funds.
