Emergency Operations Plan & Hazard Mitigation Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an undocumented EOP revision date, resident alerting coverage gaps tied to voluntary registration, and escalating wildfire exposure confirmed by recent disaster declarations. An active Hazard Mitigation Action Plan implementation and a pending RFP award elevate compliance and preparedness risk for residents and emergency staff.
The opportunity
The Hazard Mitigation Plan RFP award window and Emergency Communications Services renewal both fall within the next fiscal cycle, creating immediate decision points backed by approximately $798K in allocated emergency management funding and additional wildfire and flood mitigation grants awarded or in pursuit. Acting now aligns with compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to maximize available public funding.

Discuss this project →Resident Alerting & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current resident alerting relies on voluntary opt-in registration, limiting reach during emergencies, while fragmented platforms create coverage gaps. Recurring wildfire exposure amplifies the public safety risk of inadequate or delayed mass notification during active incidents.
The opportunity
The Emergency Communications Services renewal deadline in October 2026 creates an immediate procurement window to consolidate platforms and close alerting gaps. Emergency management budget allocations are in place, and wildfire mitigation grants pursued by the county may support eligible notification infrastructure improvements.

Discuss this project →911 Communications Computer Equipment Refresh
Emergency Communications · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The 911 Communications infrastructure is scheduled for a computer equipment refresh in FY 2026–2027, with a dedicated $20,000 budget. Aging endpoints risk disrupting emergency dispatch continuity, and the existing environment signals a need for improved endpoint visibility and IT management capabilities.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 timeline and allocated budget establish a clear, near-term procurement window, supported by a 19.8% countywide IT budget increase. Acting within this cycle ensures dispatch systems remain reliable, and the project may align with federal justice assistance grant funding available through October 2026.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Identity Management Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The county faces mandatory FBI CJIS Security Policy v5.9.5 compliance and Texas annual cybersecurity-awareness training requirements, both with 2026–2027 deadlines. Current identity management tools leave gaps in privileged access and credential security, creating non-discretionary compliance and operational risk for staff and the public they serve.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Justice Assistance Grant Program offers a strong funding match for cybersecurity and IT solutions, with an October 2026 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with an expanded IT budget and positions the county to meet hard compliance deadlines before penalties or audit findings arise.

Discuss this project →Web & Digital Content Accessibility Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with current public-facing portals and document systems presenting identified accessibility gaps. Legacy content and document management tools elevate legal exposure and limit equitable resident access to digital services.
The opportunity
The firm April 2027 regulatory deadline and a growing IT budget—up nearly 20% to $5.2M—create a clear window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, improves public service delivery, and aligns with available procurement pathways and cooperative purchasing options.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Program Deployment
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The county faces escalating Business Auto insurance costs and lacks sufficient evidence to effectively dispute fleet liability claims. An active dash camera pilot and new driver safety policies signal readiness to formalize a county-wide telematics program, but without a structured solution, financial and operational risk remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
The transition from pilot to full deployment is imminent, and insurance cost pressures create a compelling financial case for action within the current budget cycle. Grant funding has been identified as a potential pathway, making this an opportune moment to advance a fiscally responsible, outcomes-driven fleet safety initiative.
