Emergency Management Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and faces a hard compliance deadline to update its Emergency Management Basic Plan by November 26, 2027. Documented mass notification coverage gaps and a 2020 false COVID-19 alert incident highlight critical communication failures, compounded by chronic underinvestment in emergency management technology.
The opportunity
Over $500k in grant awards and an approved FY2027 budget with dedicated emergency management allocations create an immediate, accessible funding path. Acting within the current 90-day planning window ensures compliance, closes notification gaps, and strengthens public safety outcomes before the mandate deadline.

Fleet Safety Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office lacks documented telematics in patrol vehicles, and a recent engine failure requiring an emergency fleet swap exposes gaps in preventative maintenance. Rising combined liability insurance costs signal growing risk exposure, while a countywide fleet-management and vehicle replacement program is already identified as a strategic priority.
The opportunity
The approved FY2027 budget creates an immediate purchasing window for Sheriff's Office vehicle leases, and the county's existing cooperative purchasing agreement streamlines procurement. The PROTECT Competitive Grant Program may offer supplemental funding when framed as a surface transportation resilience initiative, reducing local match burden and accelerating implementation.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county operates an active website accessibility program currently meeting WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards, but must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2028. Alongside this mandate, county records digitization and broader digital-services compliance have been identified as strategic priorities, creating compounding operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The April 2028 WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline establishes a defined procurement window, and the approved FY2027 budget with growing IT spend signals available funding to act now. Advancing this initiative supports equitable public access to county services, reduces legal exposure, and aligns modernization efforts across accessibility and digital records.
Countywide Cybersecurity and Endpoint Control Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Countywide mandates requiring unique passwords and approved information-security measures reveal gaps in credential management and endpoint oversight. Uncontrolled IT complexity is reflected in budget overruns across network management and software maintenance services during 2024–2025, elevating operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 approved budget, backed by increased property-tax revenue, creates an immediate funding window to address non-discretionary cybersecurity mandates. Acting now reduces audit exposure, brings IT spend under control, and positions the county to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements already in use.
Emergency Management Vehicle Fleet Modernization
Emergency Management · Fleet Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has a dedicated initiative to modernize Emergency Management vehicles and integrate upgraded field communications infrastructure, separate from broader fleet replacement efforts. Aging vehicles and evolving communications needs create operational gaps that directly affect field response capabilities during declared emergencies.
The opportunity
The approved FY2027 budget and a $141K interoperability grant provide immediate, identified funding for vehicle and communications upgrades, with a 90-day compliance-driven action window. Advancing this initiative now strengthens field response readiness, aligns capital investment with active grant cycles, and reduces operational risk to residents.
