Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Mass Notification Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Operations Plan has not been comprehensively updated in 11 years, leaving critical gaps in preparedness during active Stage 2 water rationing events. Reliance on outdated communication methods and the absence of a modern mass-notification platform create compounding risk, with TCEQ and NIMS compliance mandates adding regulatory urgency.
The opportunity
JAG and BRIC grant funding provide viable paths to address these gaps with limited local match, and FY26 budget allocations for mass-notification maintenance signal readiness to act. Technology contract renewals approaching in late 2026 and 2027 create a near-term window to modernize before operational and compliance exposure increases further.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification platform is aging with no named successor, while outdated communication methods remain in active use during Stage 2 water rationing emergencies. This gap creates measurable operational risk and conflicts with TCEQ and NIMS compliance obligations for timely, reliable public alerting.
The opportunity
Mass notification is a budget-approved strategic initiative with contract renewals aligning to the 2026–2027 procurement window, creating a defined timeline for action. Federal grant programs such as BRIC and JAG offer eligible funding pathways, and cooperative procurement vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and protect public funds.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a mandated deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across all public-facing web properties by 2028. Current accessibility gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable public access to essential government services and information.
The opportunity
With a defined 2028 compliance horizon and this initiative already identified as a budget-approved strategic priority, the upcoming fiscal cycle is the critical window to plan, procure, and remediate. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has unmet cybersecurity recommendations from Texas state guidance, with dedicated FY26 budget increases allocated for cybersecurity software and physical security technology. Gaps in current controls elevate operational and compliance risk across public-facing systems and critical infrastructure.
The opportunity
FY26 budget allocations are actively designated for cybersecurity investment, and JAG grant funding may offset additional costs. Technology contract renewals in 2026–2027 create a near-term window to close compliance gaps and strengthen long-term resilience.
Electric Vehicle & Sustainable Fleet Transition
Fleet Modernization · Sustainability & Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The district has established a named, budget-approved strategic initiative to transition to an electric vehicle fleet, but no telematics or fleet monitoring program is currently in place. Without visibility into fleet operations, the district faces gaps in asset utilization, maintenance planning, and long-term sustainability accountability.
The opportunity
Federal grant funding aligned with fleet electrification and transportation technology is available and supports this initiative with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current planning cycle allows the district to leverage cooperative purchasing pathways, accelerate procurement, and advance its approved sustainability goals on schedule.

Discuss this project →Agenda & Meeting Management System Procurement
IT Modernization · Government Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district is actively procuring a new agenda and meeting management system, representing a live, in-flight technology acquisition with immediate decision timelines. Multiple technology contract renewals converging in late 2026 and 2027 amplify the urgency of selecting a solution that supports long-term operational continuity.
The opportunity
FY26 Enterprise Technology funding of $3.1M is allocated and available, and an upcoming board election makes now the critical window to advance selection before priorities shift. Acting within the current procurement cycle ensures continuity, avoids contract gaps, and aligns with the district's broader technology modernization trajectory.
