Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county has active gaps in meeting WCAG 2.1 AA standards across publicly accessible web documents and portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public service. Dedicated document accessibility tooling is needed to close compliance gaps not addressed by the existing web platform.
The opportunity
This in-flight initiative aligns with the FY2027 IT budget increase and is eligible for cooperative purchasing vehicles, reducing procurement lead time. Addressing compliance gaps now mitigates legal risk, advances equitable access for residents, and positions the county ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety Telematics Expansion and Asset Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has experienced multiple recent fleet-involved accidents, including a serious patrol vehicle collision, while managing fragmented systems across telematics and a separate asset management platform. With nearly $3M budgeted for vehicle maintenance and replacement in FY2027, the gap in unified fleet oversight presents measurable safety and operational risk.
The opportunity
Significant vehicle budget allocations and recent safety incidents create immediate procurement readiness for a consolidated fleet management solution. The FY2026 Bus Safety grant may offer funding alignment, and established cooperative purchasing agreements support a streamlined, compliant procurement path this fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Emergency Notification Platform Replacement and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's emergency notification contract has expired, leaving a critical gap in public alerting capability amid recurring severe flooding events and documented preparedness deficiencies. A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator and an Emergency Operations Plan of unknown age compound operational and continuity risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
An active replacement cycle, combined with a $785K emergency management and public safety technology budget and FY2027 public safety spending increases, confirms near-term funding availability. JAG and FY2026 grant pathways may further offset costs, making this an ideal window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen FEMA IPAWS alignment.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Credential Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An expired mobile device management license has created an active security gap across county systems, while the current password management solution lacks enterprise-grade controls. These vulnerabilities expose county data and operations to elevated risk during a period of active network expansion.
The opportunity
A dedicated $42K cybersecurity budget line in FY2027 and JAG grant eligibility create a timely funding pathway to close these gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with active network improvement initiatives and reduces operational and compliance exposure.

Discuss this project →Cloud Backup & Data Protection Migration
IT Modernization · Data Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active strategic initiative to migrate from legacy, on-premises backup infrastructure to cloud-based data protection, as part of broader IT modernization efforts. Remaining on aging backup systems elevates risk of data loss, operational disruption, and gaps in continuity planning for critical county services.
The opportunity
A confirmed FY2027 IT budget increase of over $231,000 provides a near-term funding pathway, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place to streamline procurement. Acting within the current planning cycle ensures continuity, reduces operational risk, and aligns with countywide modernization priorities.

Discuss this project →Network Infrastructure & Perimeter Security Upgrade
Network Infrastructure · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Comal County has identified perimeter firewall replacement and countywide network improvements as active strategic priorities, alongside a new countywide phone system. These concurrent initiatives reflect critical gaps in communications resilience and security infrastructure that carry operational and continuity risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget reflects a confirmed IT spending increase, with capital allocations supporting near-term procurement through established cooperative purchasing vehicles. Acting within the current budget cycle allows the county to consolidate infrastructure investments, reduce security exposure, and maximize available funding.
