Mass Notification Integration & Emergency Operations Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county recently migrated to a new mass notification platform without confirmed continuity testing or documented contract terms, while the Emergency Operations Plan lacks a verified review date. Combined with an active history of FEMA disaster declarations, these gaps elevate preparedness and compliance risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes increased Emergency Management funding, and the September 2026 budget adoption is a critical planning milestone. Addressing notification continuity and EOP documentation now positions the county to meet FEMA compliance obligations and strengthen community resilience ahead of the next disaster cycle.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces mandatory cybersecurity training requirements under Texas Government Code §2054.5191 and has active incident response engagements, while legacy endpoint and identity management tools operate under unknown contract status. Fragmented security practices and potential IT understaffing elevate compliance exposure and operational risk across county systems.
The opportunity
The FY2027 IT budget includes a $130k increase with $92k in capital outlay, providing allocated capacity for endpoint and identity security investment. September 2026 budget adoption is a firm deadline, and cooperative purchasing programs such as Texas DIR offer streamlined, compliant procurement pathways to act within this cycle.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces mandatory cybersecurity training requirements under Texas Government Code §2054.5191, alongside active network and endpoint security modernization initiatives. An incident response engagement signals unresolved vulnerabilities, and gaps in structured training and security processes elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed IT budget includes increased capital outlay, and September 2026 budget hearings represent a near-term window to formalize a compliant training and security program. Cooperative purchasing agreements through Texas DIR and other established programs provide accessible, low-friction procurement pathways.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county operates an aging fleet with rising maintenance costs and a documented gap in driver monitoring and incident documentation due to the absence of dash cameras or telematics systems. Fleet replacement has been identified as a top strategic priority, and the absence of real-time visibility creates operational and liability risk for public works staff and residents.
The opportunity
FY2027 fleet maintenance funding includes $72k in capital outlay, and a grant aligned with vehicle management and dispatch technology carries a September 2026 deadline—creating a time-sensitive window. New leadership in the Road Superintendent role supports re-evaluation of fleet technology to improve safety outcomes and long-term cost stewardship.
