Emergency Preparedness & EOC Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an expired Hazard Mitigation Action Plan, an overdue Emergency Operations Plan review, and documented interagency communications gaps—each undermining grant eligibility and response readiness. A major communications tower and mass-notification initiative are budgeted, but compliance mandates including NIMS adoption and annual plan reviews remain unresolved.
The opportunity
The adopted FY2027 budget (effective October 1, 2026) includes significant public safety appropriations, and HMGP and EMPG grants represent direct federal funding paths. Acting within the current 90-day window aligns modernization efforts with available funding and restores grant eligibility before the new fiscal year begins.
Cybersecurity & Password Management Compliance Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A 2022 cyberattack cost the county $300,000 and disrupted public services, exposing critical gaps in credential security and cybersecurity posture. A Texas-mandated cybersecurity training deadline has already passed, and password management deficiencies remain unresolved, elevating ongoing compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes increased County IT funding, creating a timely and funded path to address overdue compliance and reduce breach exposure. Acting now aligns remediation efforts with active budget cycles, cooperative purchasing vehicles, and state compliance requirements before risk compounds further.
Fleet Telematics & In-Car Video Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has no active in-car video or telematics program, and a recent total vehicle loss has compounded rising insurance costs and fleet liability exposure. An ongoing Sheriff's Office vehicle and fleet-equipment replacement initiative presents a timely opportunity to close these safety and asset-visibility gaps.
The opportunity
The active fleet replacement cycle creates a natural, cost-efficient entry point for telematics and in-car video capabilities, with established cooperative procurement vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Addressing this now supports officer safety, reduces insurance liability, and aligns with the county's current FY budget investment in public safety infrastructure.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Consolidation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 AA compliance mandate with a 2028 deadline while managing its web presence across two separate vendors, creating fragmentation and inconsistent accessibility standards. This split ecosystem increases compliance risk and complicates efforts to deliver equitable digital access to residents.
The opportunity
An active website accessibility services agreement provides a defined planning window to consolidate vendors and reduce long-term operational complexity ahead of the 2028 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports cost-efficient remediation and positions the county to meet compliance requirements without emergency-driven spending.
