Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2012, creating a critical 14-year compliance gap against NIMS requirements and current coordination standards. This exposes the county to significant operational risk during emergencies, with outdated protocols that no longer reflect current response structures or public safety expectations.
The opportunity
An active EOC modernization effort, a budget hearing in September 2026, and FY2027 funding increases for EMS and IT create a near-term window to act. Homeland Security grant programs are available to support EOP revision and EOC upgrades, reducing local match burden while closing a high-urgency compliance and safety gap.
EOC Relocation & Technology Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively relocating and renovating its Emergency Operations Center, with a live solicitation bid deadline of September 28, 2026, while operating on outdated technology that limits coordination and response effectiveness. An Emergency Operations Plan last updated in 2012 compounds compliance risk under NIMS requirements, elevating operational exposure for staff and residents.
The opportunity
A budget hearing on September 8, 2026, and an imminent bid deadline create a narrow, time-sensitive procurement window. Grant funding for EOC upgrades has been identified, and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements enable streamlined acquisition—reducing administrative burden and accelerating delivery of modernized emergency coordination capabilities.
EMS Fleet Safety and Ambulance Technology Upgrade
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A stolen ambulance incident, rising insurance costs, and repair overruns have exposed critical safety and oversight gaps in the county's EMS fleet. Existing tracking and camera systems provide a baseline, but operational risk and financial exposure remain elevated without enhanced safety and monitoring capabilities.
The opportunity
A Rural Ambulance Service Grant has already been awarded to the county, providing confirmed funding for near-term action. Cooperative purchasing agreements streamline procurement, and the ambulance replacement program is an active budget priority—making this an immediate, funded opportunity aligned with the FY planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate requiring remediation of accessibility gaps across a fragmented digital ecosystem. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
The WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline is a hard compliance driver, and the FY2027 IT budget increase provides a viable funding path. Consolidating the fragmented digital environment now reduces long-term costs and ensures equitable, uninterrupted public access.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified cybersecurity upgrades—including endpoint management and credential security—as a strategic IT modernization priority. While no explicit mandate is cited, unaddressed vulnerabilities in these areas carry growing operational and financial risk for county systems and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
JAG and HSGP grant funding has been identified as applicable to this initiative, and the FY2027 budget reflects increased IT investment. Organizational realignment and upcoming budget hearings create a timely opening to advance cybersecurity decisions and lock in available funding.
