Joint Emergency Communications Office Launch and Technology Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
CTECC is standing up a new Office of Joint Emergency Communications amid an expiring radio contract, documented shelter communication gaps, and public communication failures during recent incidents. Compliance mandates including NIMS adherence, EOP review, and TDEM reporting are overdue, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A $1.4M direct budget allocation and $5M+ in Homeland Security grants are actively funding this office launch, creating a near-term procurement window. Addressing communication gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current grant cycles and fiscal planning timelines.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The county EOP is overdue for review, with documented gaps in shelter communications and public-facing emergency notifications flagged through media scrutiny and formal after-action reviews. These deficiencies create measurable compliance risk under NIMS standards and TDEM reporting requirements, threatening operational continuity during critical incidents.
The opportunity
Active after-action review cycles, expiring communications contracts, and the launch of a new Office of Joint Emergency Communications create immediate urgency. Dedicated Homeland Security grant funding and allocated budget provide a clear pathway to close preparedness gaps, strengthen NIMS compliance, and improve public safety outcomes before the next fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including incident reporting requirements and security assessments—combined with CISO-level leadership turnover create both urgency and organizational readiness. Gaps in endpoint management, privileged access, and network threat detection expose critical public infrastructure to elevated operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
A $20M city-level technology investment with dedicated cybersecurity allocation, alongside applicable federal grant programs (SLCGP, BJA JAG), provides clear funding capacity. Acting within the current leadership transition window accelerates adoption and aligns with ongoing IT centralization and Microsoft 365 security initiatives.
Website Modernization & Digital Services Readiness
IT Modernization · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
A website modernization initiative is underway, but budget reductions in this area and the absence of defined requirements have slowed progress. Without clear scope or funding alignment, digital accessibility gaps and resident-facing service delivery risks remain unresolved.
The opportunity
Defining project requirements now positions the entity to act when budget conditions improve or grant-eligible funding becomes available in an upcoming fiscal cycle. Early planning reduces implementation risk and supports equitable public access to government services.
