Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates with an undocumented Emergency Operations Plan of unknown age, an outdated mass notification system with unclear contract status, and no post-incident review process following a recent disaster. These gaps create significant compliance and operational risk, as explicit mandates require current, documented emergency management plans.
The opportunity
A recently approved disaster management budget allocation and a $500,000 state-funds designation for rural programs create an active funding window for this initiative. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle before the window closes.

High Priority
About this project
The agency operates a fragmented IT environment spanning multiple disconnected platforms and a third-party managed service provider, creating security gaps and administrative complexity. Budget-approved allocations for Sheriff software contracts and technology maintenance confirm an active, funded initiative with no incumbent solution in place.
The opportunity
The FY2026-2027 budget, approved August 2026, opens an immediate purchasing window with dedicated software and maintenance funding. The BJA JAG Program deadline in October 2026 provides an additional near-term funding path, and cooperative purchasing access enables expedited, compliant procurement.

Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces an active password and access control compliance requirement with an annual certification deadline of August 31. A fragmented IT environment across disparate systems expands the attack surface and complicates credential management, elevating both security and audit risk.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2027 Sheriff software budget ($32,000) provides a direct funding vehicle, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program (October 2026 deadline) offers additional grant coverage for this project type. Cooperative purchasing vehicles further reduce procurement lead time, supporting action before the certification deadline.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces ongoing vehicle repair costs and worker's compensation claims tied to insufficient driver safety oversight and fleet monitoring. These operational losses signal a critical gap in real-time visibility, increasing financial and liability risk to the county.
The opportunity
The Texas Rural Law Enforcement Grant offers $250,000 for vehicles and safety equipment with an October 31, 2026 deadline, providing a near-term, defined funding path. Cooperative purchasing access can further compress procurement timelines, enabling faster deployment and measurable cost reduction.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces a confirmed WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline for its public-facing website by April 26, 2028, with identified accessibility gaps that create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services. A potential CMS modernization need compounds the risk, making early remediation planning critical.
The opportunity
The defined April 2028 deadline creates a structured planning window, and the recently approved FY2027 budget supports a staged remediation effort. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place, reducing procurement friction and enabling timely, cost-effective action ahead of the compliance date.
