Emergency Operations Plan & Public Warning System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Communications District lacks a publicly evidenced Emergency Operations Plan, and the existing public warning system has documented reach limitations—gaps made tangible by recent fire, flooding, and winter storm declarations. Annual TDEM reporting and NIMS adoption requirements tied to grant eligibility add compliance urgency to an already critical operational risk.
The opportunity
An active FY 2026–2027 budget and contracting window, an 83.1% operating budget increase, and a dedicated $450,000 emergency management technology allocation create strong near-term funding capacity. Incoming leadership is actively evaluating systems, and available federal grant pathways may further offset modernization costs.

Discuss this project →NG911 System Transition & Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A major NG911 system modification is planned for FY2028, with active cybersecurity, software, database, and equipment-maintenance components already underway. Gaps in mass-notification coverage and emergency operations documentation elevate public safety and compliance risk ahead of the transition.
The opportunity
Pre-procurement planning and groundwork align with the active FY2026–2027 budget window, supported by significant capital and IT allocations. Addressing readiness gaps now reduces transition risk, supports NIMS and state reporting compliance, and positions the district to leverage available federal funding pathways before the FY2028 deadline.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing website remains in a partial WCAG 2.1 compliance state, relying on a widget-based approach that does not fully satisfy accessibility mandates. Incomplete compliance exposes the entity to legal and civil rights risk, and limits equitable access to public information for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget and contracting window, with board-level agenda action already taken on website services, creates immediate procurement momentum. Resolving compliance gaps now reduces legal exposure, supports equitable public access, and aligns with current fiscal planning cycles.

Discuss this project →IT Modernization, Endpoint Management & Cybersecurity
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district's IT software budget has grown significantly, and an emerging managed IT services relationship is underway to address endpoint protection and network infrastructure. A past-due financial audit mandate and cybersecurity responsibilities tied to NG911 operations elevate compliance and operational risk if modernization stalls.
The opportunity
An active FY 2026–2027 budget and contracting window—with managed IT services already on the board agenda—creates immediate procurement momentum. Advancing endpoint management and cybersecurity now reduces audit exposure, supports NG911 continuity, and aligns with the district's documented intent to expand technology investment.

Discuss this project →Fleet Visibility Modernization and Vehicle Monitoring
Fleet Management · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in fleet monitoring visibility and an outstanding vehicle replacement need, while incumbent fleet management systems remain in place. Rising insurance costs and limited operational visibility create ongoing risk to asset stewardship and public service continuity.
The opportunity
An active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and expanded operating budget create a favorable window to evaluate fleet modernization improvements. Cooperative purchasing pathways may streamline procurement, and addressing visibility gaps now supports long-term cost control and operational accountability.
