ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Grundy County faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing digital services by April 26, 2028, with no current plan or technology in place. The absence of any remediation strategy exposes the county to significant legal liability and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The fixed regulatory deadline and absence of any existing solution make this a non-discretionary priority with a clear budget justification for the upcoming fiscal cycle. Acting now allows sufficient lead time for procurement, implementation, and testing before the 2028 deadline, reducing legal risk and advancing the Health Department's digital service modernization goals.
Modernizing County Emergency Management & Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces compounding emergency management gaps: an unverified Basic Emergency Operations Plan, an unclear primary mass notification system, recurring FEMA disaster exposure, and a January 2026 disaster designation — all with NIMS and EOP mandates and no supporting technology in place. A February 2026 courthouse security incident and active recruitment for a 911 Electronic Operations Director signal both urgency and readiness for modernization.
The opportunity
A recent FEMA disaster designation and the EMA Director's stated 2026 technology goals create a narrow window to act with leadership alignment and public-safety funding already in motion. Consolidating a fragmented notification ecosystem and closing preparedness gaps now reduces operational and compliance risk while positioning the county to leverage increased public-safety funding capacity.
FEMA Public Assistance
Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Driver Accountability Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Department has sustained two recent patrol vehicle crashes—one involving injury—alongside a 14.4% rise in vehicle insurance costs and a prior finding of equipment misuse. With no fleet management platform in place, the county lacks visibility into driver behavior, vehicle utilization, or risk exposure.
The opportunity
Documented accidents and rising insurance costs create a quantifiable, fiscally defensible case for action within the current budget cycle. Implementing fleet telematics now reduces liability, supports officer accountability, and aligns with public safety stewardship priorities—with no incumbent platform to displace.
Closing the Cybersecurity Gap in County IT Operations
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks documented cybersecurity tooling — no endpoint protection, password management, or security platform is in place — while IT and safety staffing initiatives signal growing internal awareness of risk. This greenfield exposure leaves county systems, staff, and public data vulnerable without a formal mitigation strategy.
The opportunity
Strategic hiring activity and an updated Emergency Operations Plan create internal momentum to address cybersecurity gaps in the current planning cycle. Proactively building a baseline security posture now reduces operational risk and positions the county to qualify for future state or federal funding as eligibility windows reopen.
