Modernize Endpoint Security and Identity Access Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Bell County has allocated FY2026-2027 grant funds specifically for multi-factor authentication and mobile device management, while legacy credential tools and an open Technology Services leadership role leave endpoint security gaps. Outstanding needs for a cybersecurity infrastructure audit and a formal incident response plan elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Newly adopted FY2026-2027 budget funds are immediately actionable, and the BJA Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program provides an eligible secondary funding path for endpoint and identity security investments. Acting within this fiscal cycle reduces breach exposure, satisfies grant compliance requirements, and positions the county for stronger audit outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bell County is mid-transition between mass notification platforms, creating resident enrollment gaps and operational vulnerabilities during severe weather events. Recent high-profile flooding and power outages have exposed preparedness deficiencies, and the Emergency Operations Plan's currency remains unverified, elevating public safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Public safety funding increased by over $1.1M in the FY2026-2027 budget, with allocations directed toward emergency management initiatives. Acting before the next severe weather season closes the enrollment gap, stabilizes communications continuity, and ensures residents receive timely, reliable alerts when it matters most.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bell County has no deployed dash cameras or telematics systems, leaving a critical gap in collision-evidence capture and driver monitoring. Active fleet investment—including vehicle solicitations and ballistic upgrades—confirms operational priority, but the safety monitoring gap remains unaddressed and exposes the county to liability and incident risk.
The opportunity
A $9.2M+ road-and-bridge budget increase in FY2026-2027 signals strong financial capacity, and confirmed cooperative purchasing relationships can accelerate procurement above formal bid thresholds. Addressing this gap now reduces liability exposure, improves driver accountability, and aligns with the county's active transportation infrastructure investment cycle.

Grant Compliance · Broadband Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
An active broadband sub-award grant carries a hard completion deadline, creating immediate compliance and deliverable risk. Failure to meet the deadline could result in loss of awarded funding and jeopardize the county's ability to deliver committed infrastructure outcomes to residents.
The opportunity
The fixed grant deadline makes near-term action essential to protect awarded funds and maintain compliance standing. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement, and timely project completion supports both current-cycle grant closeout and eligibility for future broadband funding opportunities.
