Consolidated Dispatch & Emergency Operations Center Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has funded initiatives for both a Consolidated Dispatch/EOC and a standalone Emergency Operations Center, with a confirmed $263,000 capital allocation and over $18.7M in annual IT investment. An active 2026 Emergency Preparedness audit, high personnel turnover, and gaps in EOP documentation elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Both initiatives are designated FY2026 top priorities, with an $8.1M FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant and HSGP/EMPG deadlines in July 2026 creating immediate funding windows. Acting now aligns procurement with confirmed capital allocations, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and a newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator positioned to advance these priorities.

Emergency Management · Continuity Planning
High Priority
About this project
No current or recently reviewed Emergency Operations Plan is publicly documented, and high personnel turnover is creating critical knowledge and continuity gaps. A formal 2026 Emergency Preparedness audit creates direct compliance pressure to remediate planning deficiencies before findings are issued.
The opportunity
A hard 2026 audit deadline, combined with FEMA grant windows closing in July 2026, creates immediate urgency to act. A newly appointed Emergency Management Coordinator is positioned to lead reform, and funded EOC capital projects signal organizational readiness to invest in resilience now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Current mass notification and public alerting capabilities have documented gaps, with tornado alert events and regional Hazard Mitigation Plan findings underscoring the need for a more integrated solution. An upcoming Emergency Preparedness audit and high personnel turnover elevate both compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
An active HMP update, a secured $8.1M FEMA Hazard Mitigation grant, and HSGP/EMPG deadlines in mid-2026 create an immediate funding path and mandate for action. Advancing this initiative now strengthens community resilience, supports audit readiness, and aligns with the county's funded EOC consolidation priorities.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Modernization and Digital Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Fire Department is pursuing a proactive fleet maintenance program and digital fleet management system, with some initiatives operational and others still seeking funding. Gaps in fleet visibility and maintenance tracking create operational risk and potential service continuity challenges for public safety response.
The opportunity
Capital funding is already in motion for fire-related initiatives, and cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined, compliant procurement path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the department to consolidate fleet initiatives, reduce maintenance costs, and strengthen operational readiness.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Governance
High Priority
About this project
Funded IT and cybersecurity modernization efforts face compounding risk from high personnel turnover, which is creating critical knowledge gaps across systems and security controls. A 2026 audit covering procurement and emergency preparedness is expected to surface additional IT governance requirements, elevating compliance and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
Active funding and a firm 2026 compliance and audit timeline create a clear near-term window to advance IT governance and cybersecurity controls before gaps become findings. Addressing these priorities now supports operational resilience, reduces audit exposure, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties must meet WCAG 2.1 conformance standards ahead of the 2026 mandate, with non-compliance exposing the county to legal and audit risk. The active 2026 audit cycle compounds urgency, as accessibility gaps may surface alongside broader operational and technology compliance findings.
The opportunity
The 2026 WCAG 2.1 deadline creates a defined remediation window that aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle and broader IT modernization efforts already underway. Consolidating accessibility remediation within that initiative supports efficient use of public funds and reduces compounding compliance exposure ahead of the audit.
