Mass Notification System Replacement & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A November 2025 cyberattack disabled the county's emergency alert system, creating an immediate gap in public safety communications and drawing ongoing media scrutiny. A new Emergency Management Coordinator is leading an urgent replacement initiative, elevating both operational and cybersecurity compliance risk.
The opportunity
Allocated budget and a $275,000 increase in IT software funding create strong near-term purchasing power, while EMPG and similar grant programs may offset additional costs. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a critical public safety gap and supports compliance with emergency management mandates.
Post-Breach IT and Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A recent cyberattack exposed critical vulnerabilities in county IT infrastructure, disabling core public safety systems and triggering an active compliance mandate to harden endpoint and identity security. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $1M and active procurement underway, the county faces urgent pressure to remediate gaps and restore operational resilience.
The opportunity
A $275,000 increase in IT software funding and new fiscal year procurement cycles create an immediate window to act. Federal and state grant programs align with cybersecurity remediation priorities, and incoming leadership signals openness to modernization—making now the right moment to reduce risk and strengthen public trust.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate requiring updates to public-facing digital portals and web properties by 2028. Gaps in accessible digital services create legal exposure and limit equitable access to government information for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline establishes a clear implementation window, and the Website & Digital Services initiative is active and funded or seeking funding within current planning cycles. Acting now allows for phased remediation, reduces compliance risk, and supports equitable public access to county services.
Wildfire Preparedness Planning and Response Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's emergency management program faces compounding preparedness gaps, including an outdated wildfire plan and a recently compromised alert system, exposing residents to elevated public safety risk. A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator is leading a broader preparedness overhaul as part of an active strategic initiative.
The opportunity
EMPG and NGWS grants are directly applicable funding sources for this initiative, and the county's proposed budget reflects increased IT and public safety investment. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal cycle accelerates compliance, strengthens community resilience, and reduces operational liability.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Equipment Upgrades
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified a need for updated dashcam equipment in patrol vehicles, with a dedicated Sheriff Department budget line for vehicles and equipment. A $350,000 rural ambulance grant signals active investment in fleet assets, though no documented accident history currently elevates liability risk.
The opportunity
The received ambulance grant creates a near-term, defined procurement trigger aligned with the county's active Fleet & Transportation strategic initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to maximize grant-funded asset improvements and strengthen operational readiness across public safety fleets.
