Emergency Communications Infrastructure Restoration & Tower Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lightning damage to critical radio and dispatch towers has created an immediate operational crisis, disrupting the county's emergency communications infrastructure. Strategic gaps in tower resilience and backup power compound the risk, threatening continuity of 911 dispatch and emergency response operations.
The opportunity
Dedicated E-911 millage receipts, MPSCS Board action, and eligibility for HSGP and BRIC NOFO funding provide strong, identified paths to support rapid procurement. Acting within the current grant window addresses a non-deferrable need while advancing long-term emergency communications resilience for residents and first responders.
Modernize Emergency Operations Plan for NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2015, creating significant disaster preparedness gaps and compliance exposure. NIMS implementation is a regulatory requirement directly tied to continued eligibility for federal emergency management grant funding.
The opportunity
Active federal grant programs, including homeland security and hazard mitigation funding streams, support EOP modernization and emergency communications with accessible local match requirements. Addressing compliance gaps now protects grant eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization and Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's existing mass notification system shows potential performance gaps that may leave residents and staff under-alerted during emergencies. With an outdated EOP and active NIMS compliance mandates, reliable, integrated alerting capabilities are critical to meeting both operational and regulatory requirements.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding directly supports emergency communications modernization, offering a clear, near-term funding path with limited local match burden. Acting within the current grant cycle strengthens public alerting readiness, advances EOP compliance, and reduces operational risk to the community.
IT Managed Services Contract Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT Managed Services contract is expiring within 18 months, and an active RFP has been issued covering remote monitoring, endpoint protection, patch management, backup, and cyber training. IT spending has already exceeded budget, signaling active investment pressure and the need for a cost-controlled, comprehensive solution.
The opportunity
The live RFP and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as MITN/BidNet create a near-term, structured procurement window aligned with the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures continuity of managed IT services, reduces cybersecurity exposure, and positions the county to maximize existing budget authority before contract lapse.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing web presence has identified gaps against WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. Unresolved compliance deficiencies risk ADA-related complaints, litigation, and exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is a non-discretionary compliance mandate, making this a clear procurement priority that aligns with current fiscal planning cycles. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may be available to streamline contracting and reduce time-to-compliance for the county.
