Modernize Emergency Operations Plan & Notification Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates an active emergency management program with annual testing, but the county faces compounding gaps: an EOP of unknown currency, no dated exercise records, and two fragmented notification systems that undermine reliable public alerting. These deficiencies create measurable compliance and public safety risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget reflects increased emergency management funding with a September 15, 2026 adoption deadline, creating an immediate decision window. Federal grant programs such as HSGP and EMPG are eligible funding pathways that can offset costs and accelerate compliance and preparedness outcomes.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate with no remediation plan currently in place, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. The existing website platform has been identified for accessibility remediation, and failure to act risks ongoing ADA non-compliance.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget explicitly allocates funds for CIRA/ADA website work, creating a defined, funded pathway for action. With budget adoption set for September 15, 2026, this is a time-sensitive window to address a non-optional compliance mandate and ensure equitable digital access for all residents.
Sheriff Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's fleet currently lacks dash cams, telematics, and formal driver safety programs, leaving the county exposed after a recent vehicle incident and facing rising insurance and maintenance costs. Without active safety technology or mitigation measures, operational and financial risk to the county continues to grow.
The opportunity
FY2027 includes $220K in SB22 grant funding for Sheriff vehicle modernization, and the September 15, 2026 budget adoption is an immediate decision window. Cooperative purchasing options may further reduce procurement burden, making this an optimal moment to act on fleet safety.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security & Credential Management Compliance
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas law mandates cybersecurity incident reporting for government entities, yet the county lacks documented endpoint management and credential security controls. With over $210,000 in annual IT and software spend, the absence of these foundational safeguards exposes county systems, staff, and resident data to significant operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
An increased IT services budget and a dedicated cybersecurity insurance line item in the upcoming fiscal cycle signal leadership readiness and available funding. Grants such as JAG and HSGP may offset implementation costs, and acting now addresses a non-discretionary compliance mandate before the FY2027 budget is adopted.
