Emergency Operations Plan & Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2015, no recent exercises or audits are on record, and the status of the current emergency notification system is unconfirmed. NIMS adoption is required for compliance, and these gaps elevate operational and life-safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget, effective October 1, 2026, includes an approved allocation for emergency notification, creating an immediate, funded spending window. Addressing the EOP gap now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with cooperative purchasing channels available to the county.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Endpoint Management Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual cybersecurity assessments, and the county has already missed its compliance deadline, creating immediate remediation risk. Identified gaps in password security and endpoint management expose county systems and resident data to breach, audit findings, and potential liability.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget includes over $76,000 in new IT and Sheriff's Office software allocations, providing a clear and immediate funding pathway. Acting within this budget cycle closes a past-due compliance gap, reduces operational risk, and is eligible for cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with no accessibility plan currently in place. Fragmented public-facing portals and document accessibility gaps put residents at risk of inequitable service access and expose the county to federal non-compliance findings.
The opportunity
The April 2027 regulatory deadline and the adopted FY2026–2027 budget create an immediate, funded window to act. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces compliance risk, improves equitable public service delivery, and positions the county ahead of the federal 2028 enforcement threshold.
Fleet Visibility & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fleet without telematics or dash cameras, creating measurable gaps in driver accountability, incident documentation, and liability management. Rising insurance premiums across law enforcement, property, and general liability categories signal an escalating risk exposure that current fleet practices are not equipped to address.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026–2027 budget includes over $218,000 in grant-funded Sheriff vehicles and equipment, creating an immediate and funded window to integrate fleet visibility solutions. Acting within this budget cycle reduces insurance risk, strengthens operational oversight, and leverages cooperative purchasing channels available to Texas counties.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization and Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT environment has identified gaps in endpoint management and modernization that exceed the current managed service scope, while an active Texas annual cybersecurity compliance mandate has a past-due assessment deadline. Combined IT and public safety tech spend totals approximately $42,500 annually, with a $56,521 increase in IT operating allocations approved in the FY2026-2027 budget.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2026-2027 budget signals clear leadership intent to invest in IT improvements, and cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place to streamline procurement. Addressing endpoint management and cybersecurity compliance gaps now reduces operational risk and aligns with active funding allocations before the new fiscal cycle takes effect.
