New Central Dispatch Facility Capital Build-Out
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
Clinton County is investing $25M to construct a new Central Dispatch Facility, driving significant Public Safety appropriations and triggering downstream technology and systems procurements. Active compliance mandates around EOP/NIMS standards and 911 Service Plan changes add urgency to ensuring the facility meets operational and regulatory requirements from day one.
The opportunity
Near-term construction and buildout timelines create a critical window to align technology decisions with active grant opportunities—including HSGP, BRIC, and JAG—before funding cycles close. Coordinating procurements now through cooperative purchasing vehicles supports cost-effective stewardship of public funds and ensures uninterrupted dispatch and emergency response capabilities.
EOP & NIMS Compliance Modernization for EOC Coordination
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Management Director is actively pursuing EOP approval amid compliance mandates tied to NIMS standards and evolving 911 Service Plan requirements. Administrative transitions and multi-system mass notification use signal integration gaps at the EOC level that elevate coordination and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Active EOP and 911 Service Plan activity creates a near-term window to address EOC coordination gaps before compliance deadlines solidify. Grant funding through HSGP, BRIC, and JAG aligns directly with this initiative, offering a viable path to advance public safety outcomes within current budget planning cycles.
Cybersecurity Audit & Intrusion Response Readiness
Cybersecurity · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
A budgeted $20K cybersecurity audit for Central Dispatch is planned for the 2027 cycle, and an attempted cyber intrusion in April 2026 has elevated political and operational urgency. Capital-tied cybersecurity spending remains active despite broader IT budget pressure, signaling a defined but time-sensitive procurement window.
The opportunity
The convergence of a confirmed budget line item, a recent intrusion attempt, and a planned audit creates a well-defined window to act before the 2027 cycle closes. JAG grant eligibility offers a potential funding pathway, and early engagement can help shape audit scope and strengthen the county's overall security posture.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a firm April 2026 deadline to bring its public-facing website into WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. Failure to meet this mandate exposes the county to legal liability, reputational harm, and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
With the April 2026 deadline approaching, the window for procurement, implementation, and testing is narrowing quickly. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance is achieved on time, reduces legal exposure, and supports equitable digital access for all county residents.

Discuss this project →Outdoor Warning Siren Infrastructure Evaluation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is advancing a planned RFP to evaluate its outdoor warning siren infrastructure, signaling an active review of physical public alerting systems for potential replacement or expansion. This initiative carries operational urgency given active emergency management compliance mandates and the county's broader public safety capital investment cycle.
The opportunity
A structured RFP process is forthcoming, creating a defined procurement window aligned with increased public safety appropriations and available emergency management grant funding. Addressing siren infrastructure now supports compliance readiness and strengthens community-wide alerting capacity ahead of the next severe weather season.
