Emergency Management Plan Update & Warning System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Management Plan has not been updated since 2009—over 16 years overdue—creating critical compliance and life-safety gaps. Recent deadly flooding events have exposed weaknesses in warning systems and inter-agency coordination, elevating operational risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
A $4.4M allocation within the county's IT and public safety budget, combined with confirmed non-match-required grants, provides a clear funding pathway. The FY 2026-27 budget adoption on September 15, 2026 creates a near-term window to act before the fiscal cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple fleet-involved accidents have driven rising insurance costs and public scrutiny, signaling an urgent need for comprehensive vehicle tracking and safety oversight. The county is actively implementing telematics capabilities and has dedicated staffing, indicating readiness to expand into a full fleet safety solution.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget includes $6.2M for fleet replacement, creating a direct funding pathway for integrated telematics. Acting within this cycle aligns procurement with active vehicle investments, reduces liability exposure, and supports stewardship of public assets through cooperative purchasing vehicles already confirmed available.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county is executing a broad IT modernization effort spanning law enforcement hardware replacement, network firewall refresh, IoT security, unified backup, and endpoint management consolidation. With annual IT spend exceeding $45M, fragmented tools and aging infrastructure present operational continuity and cybersecurity compliance risks across county departments.
The opportunity
A targeted $18.6M IT infrastructure budget increase and a FY 2026-27 budget adoption deadline of September 15, 2026 create a defined window to advance modernization priorities. Active funded initiatives and available cybersecurity grant pathways support procurement now, with cooperative purchasing mechanisms already in place to streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Credential Management & Cybersecurity Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a compliance mandate for annual cybersecurity training while lacking a confirmed password management deployment—a documented security gap within an environment that includes Microsoft 365 and Cisco ISE. Without structured credential management, county systems and sensitive public data remain at elevated risk of unauthorized access.
The opportunity
Named cybersecurity grant programs provide direct, accessible funding pathways for this initiative, and alignment with the FY 2026-27 budget cycle creates a clear near-term window for action. Closing this gap now reduces audit and compliance exposure while strengthening the county's overall security posture ahead of budget adoption.
BJA FY 2026 Public Safety Initiative
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
An active WCAG 2.1 remediation effort signals an existing compliance gap across public-facing digital portals and documents, limiting equitable access for residents with disabilities. Closing this gap is both a legal obligation and an operational priority, with leadership and budget already engaged in remediation.
The opportunity
With FY 2026-27 budget adoption approaching and remediation already underway, the window to layer in document accessibility tooling is immediate and well-supported. Acting now aligns with active compliance mandates, avoids legal exposure, and ensures equitable public access within the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Network Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county has active procurement underway for redundant internet circuits, reflecting a recognized gap in network resilience and operational continuity. This initiative supports broader IT infrastructure modernization and aligns with a funded public-safety communications resilience strategic priority.
The opportunity
A targeted $18.6M IT infrastructure budget increase provides a clear funding pathway, with FY 2026-27 budget adoption set for September 2026. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed available, enabling accelerated procurement and reduced administrative burden within the current fiscal cycle.
