Emergency Management System Consolidation & Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority operates a fragmented mass notification environment disconnected from broader emergency coordination, while active compliance mandates for dam safety, Emergency Action Plans, and required exercises remain unresolved. An active OOG Grant with EOP conditions creates a formal obligation to close these preparedness gaps.
The opportunity
With $850,000 earmarked for emergency management technology within the current IT budget and eligible funding paths through homeland security grant programs, the timing aligns to consolidate systems, satisfy compliance mandates, and strengthen continuity of operations for the communities served.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority has layered cybersecurity tools and active network access control efforts but lacks a dedicated credential and password management solution, leaving a measurable gap in its security posture. A funded technical security upgrade initiative and cybersecurity insurance requirements are driving near-term action to close this vulnerability.
The opportunity
FY2027 IT budget increases and explicit funding for network access control signal near-term procurement readiness. HSGP and SHSP grants identify cybersecurity technology as an eligible expense, offering a low-local-match funding pathway to advance this initiative within the current planning cycle.
Fleet Safety Technology Expansion and Incident Visibility
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
Recent fleet-involved accidents have resulted in property damage and significant repair costs, while current in-car video coverage leaves incident causes unresolved and visibility gaps unaddressed. FY2027 capital plans include new fleet and field-service vehicle additions, making comprehensive safety coverage an immediate operational priority.
The opportunity
FY2027 capital budget allocation and planned vehicle additions create a natural procurement window to close fleet safety gaps before the fleet grows. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling streamlined acquisition and responsible stewardship of public infrastructure funds.

IT Modernization · Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
A growing IT footprint with multiple uncoordinated tools and infrastructure investments has created gaps in centralized endpoint visibility and lifecycle management. Without a unified asset management program, operational risk increases and stewardship of public technology funds becomes harder to demonstrate.
The opportunity
The FY2027 IT budget includes a dedicated increase for an asset management program, creating a near-term funding window aligned with active procurement vehicles. Acting within this fiscal cycle enables streamlined acquisition and positions the organization for stronger compliance and IT governance outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority's public-facing web properties currently lack WCAG conformance, creating an active compliance gap for residents seeking digital services. Special-district governments face a mandatory April 26, 2028 deadline for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, making phased remediation planning an immediate operational priority.
The opportunity
Early action enables phased remediation budgeted across multiple fiscal cycles, reducing cost concentration and audit risk. HSGP and SHSP grant programs identify web accessibility technology as an eligible expense, and the annual procurement window supports staged implementation aligned to available funding.
