Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a public Emergency Operations Plan and operates an aging mass-notification system with unknown contract status, leaving critical preparedness gaps. With no documented after-action findings from recent severe weather and active regional hazard mitigation planning underway, operational and public safety risks are escalating.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget includes a dedicated emergency management alert system allocation, and the EMPG Program grant has an expected award date of September 2026, creating an immediate, time-sensitive funding window. Acting now aligns procurement with both the grant cycle and fiscal planning, enabling a coordinated overhaul that strengthens community resilience and closes documented preparedness gaps.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Certification & Credential Governance Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · Credential Management
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an overdue annual cybersecurity certification alongside unresolved gaps in secure credential storage and password governance, creating measurable regulatory exposure for the Sheriff's Office. Without remediation, these deficiencies elevate operational risk and leave sensitive law enforcement systems vulnerable to unauthorized access.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes increased Sheriff's computer expenditures, creating a direct and timely funding pathway for compliance-driven cybersecurity tooling. Acting within the current budget cycle resolves the overdue certification, reduces regulatory liability, and strengthens the security posture of critical public safety operations.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate for its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Unaddressed gaps risk excluding community members from essential services and may invite regulatory scrutiny as the deadline approaches.
The opportunity
The defined compliance timeline creates a predictable planning and procurement window, allowing the county to scope and fund improvements within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Proactive action reduces legal risk, broadens equitable access to public services, and may align with cooperative purchasing pathways already in use.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office currently lacks fleet safety technology such as dash cameras and telematics, despite existing camera infrastructure on vehicles. A 42.9% increase in the FY2027 auto insurance budget signals rising fleet-related costs and unaddressed operational safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget already reflects active investment in vehicle-related infrastructure, and the $500,000 Rural Ambulance Service Grant supports a favorable public safety funding environment. Addressing this gap now reduces liability exposure, improves officer accountability, and aligns with the current budget planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Sheriff's Office IT and Mobile Connectivity Refresh
IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces significant gaps in endpoint management and vehicle mobile connectivity, with current annual IT spend of approximately $2,000 indicating legacy or under-resourced infrastructure. These gaps create operational risk for field personnel and limit the department's ability to maintain secure, reliable communications.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes specific allocations for Sheriff's computer expenses and vehicle Wi-Fi, creating a near-term procurement window aligned with active planning. Cooperative purchasing options may further streamline acquisition, enabling the county to modernize critical infrastructure within the current budget cycle.
