Modernize Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is unverified and potentially outdated, and no countywide mass-notification platform is in place. Documented notification failures during recent flooding events, an ongoing local state of disaster, and Texas Government Code §418.106 mandates create significant compliance and public safety exposure.
The opportunity
Active FY2027 budget planning, an awarded LEPC grant, FEMA disaster declarations, and a $25K PPE grant provide direct funding pathways to address these gaps now. A leadership transition in the fire department further opens the door for system re-evaluation, making this an ideal moment to strengthen countywide emergency readiness.

Emergency Management · Disaster Recovery
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active initiative to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan in alignment with emergency management compliance requirements, including state statutory mandates and ongoing disaster recovery obligations. Without an current, approved plan, the county faces elevated regulatory risk and reduced eligibility for future federal disaster mitigation funding.
The opportunity
Active FEMA declarations and existing grant infrastructure create a near-term, fundable pathway for this update ahead of the FY2027 budget cycle. Completing the plan now strengthens compliance standing, preserves federal funding eligibility, and improves community resilience outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing web presence has identified accessibility gaps that conflict with WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Existing platform use has not fully closed these gaps, leaving the county at risk of non-compliance and inequitable service delivery.
The opportunity
An approaching WCAG 2.1 Level AA deadline and the active FY2027 budget planning cycle create a clear window to remediate accessibility gaps before compliance risk escalates. Addressing this now supports equitable public access, reduces legal liability, and aligns procurement with current budget timelines.

Public Safety · Emergency Communications
High Priority
About this project
An identified gap in 911 communications infrastructure has prompted a secured grant for a public-safety radio system upgrade, signaling critical operational risk in emergency response capability. Reliable interoperable radio communications are foundational to coordinated public safety response and continuity of operations.
The opportunity
Grant funding is already awarded, creating an immediately actionable procurement window aligned with the active budget cycle. Moving forward now ensures funds are deployed effectively, closes a documented communications gap, and strengthens emergency response outcomes for residents and first responders.

Public Safety Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's law enforcement operations rely on a fragmented multi-vendor software ecosystem, creating integration gaps, duplicated workflows, and elevated IT overhead. This fragmentation limits operational efficiency and increases the risk of data silos that can impede public safety response and accountability.
The opportunity
An active evaluation is already underway, and the FY2027 budget planning cycle creates a defined window to act. Consolidating platforms now reduces long-term licensing costs, streamlines operations, and positions the county to leverage cooperative procurement pathways for efficient, compliant acquisition.

Discuss this project →Access Control System Replacement
Physical Security · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's aging access control infrastructure presents growing physical and cybersecurity risks, prompting an active initiative to replace the system. Inadequate access controls can expose sensitive facilities and data to unauthorized entry, creating operational and compliance vulnerabilities for county staff and residents.
The opportunity
This project is in active planning and aligned with the FY2027 budget cycle, creating a timely window for procurement through cooperative purchasing vehicles that reduce administrative burden. Addressing access control gaps now strengthens facility security, supports broader IT modernization goals, and positions the county to act within current budget timelines.
