Managed IT Services Transition & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county is mid-transition to a new managed-services model with documented gaps in proactive monitoring and vulnerability scanning. A technology disruption in August 2026 exposed IT resilience weaknesses, and the Texas cybersecurity training mandate deadline adds a hard compliance obligation elevating operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2027 increases in IT software maintenance, contract funding, and telecommunications signal available budget, and federal grant programs support cybersecurity and public safety IT initiatives. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with the compliance deadline, active service transition, and upcoming fiscal planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has documented gaps in regional emergency planning, an underperforming public warning system, and a mass notification platform siloed from EOC workflows, limiting multi-agency coordination. Recent declared emergencies and media scrutiny have elevated this to the county's highest-profile strategic priority, with operational and reputational risk growing.
The opportunity
Multiple active federal grant programs — including EMPG, HSGP, and the Next Generation Warning System Grant — directly fund this initiative, and recent FEMA reimbursements provide additional capacity. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to accelerate procurement within the current fiscal cycle, reducing time-to-deployment and local cost burden.
ADA Title II Web Accessibility Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a non-discretionary ADA Title II mandate requiring web accessibility compliance by April 2027, with active gaps identified across public-facing digital properties. Failure to remediate creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline establishes a defined planning horizon, making the current fiscal cycle the right time to assess gaps and structure procurement. Cooperative purchasing programs may streamline acquisition, and proactive remediation reduces legal risk while improving digital equity for all residents.
Credential & Identity Security Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented IT security and the absence of proactive credential controls leave county systems exposed to privileged access abuse and credential-based threats. The Texas cybersecurity training mandate deadline of August 2026 compounds this risk, requiring immediate action to close documented gaps in identity and access management.
The opportunity
Proposed FY2027 IT budget increases and grant programs such as JAG and HSGP provide viable funding pathways for credential and identity security investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with compliance deadlines and reduces operational exposure before the August 2026 mandate takes effect.
