Mass Notification & Emergency Alert System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current emergency alert system has documented gaps in resident enrollment and weather-alert opt-in, limiting reach during declared emergencies including a border crisis, water system failures, and an agricultural threat. The Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, and countywide alert education remains an unmet need, elevating public safety and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget workshops and recent public safety grant funding create a near-term window to advance this top strategic priority. Modernizing and consolidating the alert system now reduces emergency response gaps, supports hazard-mitigation plan compliance, and strengthens countywide resilience with cooperative procurement pathways available.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's hazard-mitigation plan is overdue for update, creating a compliance and preparedness gap at a time when multiple declared emergencies—including a border crisis, water system failures, and an agricultural threat—have exposed the operational risks of an outdated plan. Without an current plan in place, the county faces elevated liability and reduced eligibility for state and federal mitigation funding.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget workshops and recent public safety grant funding create a viable near-term path to address this overdue compliance requirement. Completing the update now restores eligibility for hazard-mitigation funding, strengthens countywide resilience, and reduces operational and regulatory risk ahead of the next declared emergency.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility deadline of April 26, 2027, with the current website platform presenting potential compliance gaps. Failure to meet this mandate creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to county services.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget planning cycle creates an immediate window to initiate procurement before the fixed compliance deadline. Cooperative purchasing contracts are available to streamline acquisition, reducing administrative burden and supporting timely, cost-effective remediation.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The county has missed the Texas annual cybersecurity training and reporting mandate deadline and lacks a county-wide password management solution, creating critical credential-based exposure. This overdue compliance gap carries the highest urgency rating, elevating regulatory and operational risk for county staff and systems.
The opportunity
Active FY2026–2027 budget workshops and an existing IT budget provide near-term capacity to remediate this high-priority gap. Addressing compliance now reduces regulatory liability, and cooperative contract vehicles are available to streamline procurement efficiently.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A high-speed pursuit incident has exposed significant operational liability for the Sheriff's Office, with no documented dash cameras or telematics systems in place to support fleet-level evidence capture or driver monitoring. Existing body cameras do not address fleet oversight gaps, increasing risk to personnel, the public, and the county.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget cycle is actively underway, and recent public safety grant funding signals available pathways to address this gap. Acting now strengthens the county's liability posture, supports officer accountability, and aligns fleet safety investment with current planning windows.
