EOC Readiness & Emergency Operations Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has documented EOC readiness gaps, an unreviewed Emergency Operations Plan, and active NIMS/EOP compliance mandates requiring resolution. These deficiencies elevate operational and public safety risk, and a funded capital initiative to build a new EOC signals both urgency and institutional commitment to close them.
The opportunity
Dedicated HSGP grant funding and capital project transfers are included in the FY2027 recommended budget, with a formal budget hearing on September 22, 2026 creating a defined 90-day decision window. Acting now aligns procurement with approved funding, advances NIMS compliance, and strengthens the county's capacity to protect residents during emergencies.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is mid-transition away from a legacy mass notification system, creating reliability and continuity gaps during a period of active emergency preparedness obligations. NIMS and EOP compliance mandates remain in effect, elevating operational and public safety risk until the transition is stabilized.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning—including approved emergency management funding and HSGP grant alignment—creates a defined window to resolve notification gaps and meet NIMS/EOP requirements. Acting now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community-wide emergency response before the next budget cycle closes.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a Texas-mandated cybersecurity compliance deadline of August 31, 2026, covering annual training and password security requirements, while endpoint management gaps persist alongside active Zero-Trust and network modernization initiatives. Unresolved credential and access control weaknesses elevate operational and audit risk across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
The August 31, 2026 compliance deadline and an upcoming FY2027 budget hearing on September 22, 2026 create a narrow, time-sensitive window for action. JAG Local Formula grant funding explicitly permits cybersecurity controls and endpoint management improvements, providing a viable funding pathway with limited local match burden.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with the initiative currently unfunded despite high-priority status. Existing digital infrastructure only partially meets accessibility requirements, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing on September 22, 2026 is the critical funding decision window to secure resources for this initiative before the compliance deadline. Acting now allows the county to shape procurement strategy, leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles, and avoid costly remediation or legal risk closer to the mandate date.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's 408-vehicle fleet faces rising liability insurance costs and recurring vehicle damage incidents, with existing camera technology insufficient to address driver behavior or telematics gaps. This leaves a measurable operational and financial risk unmitigated across county transportation operations.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes an $8.6M public safety funding increase, creating a defined window to address fleet risk before the September 22, 2026 budget hearing. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate deployment.

Discuss this project →Fire/EMS & Public Safety Technology Modernization
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has active strategic initiatives for Fire/EMS modernization and P25 radio upgrades, with a service agreement expiration creating a time-sensitive replacement window. Without action, aging public safety infrastructure elevates operational risk for first responders and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes $8.6M in increased public safety funding and capital project transfers, confirming near-term financial readiness. Acting within this procurement window aligns with budget availability, reduces continuity risk, and advances funded strategic priorities for public safety modernization.
