Emergency Preparedness Infrastructure & EOP Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan, no district-owned mass-notification system, and no documented public exercises or after-action reviews. Recent declared emergencies and active NIMS compliance mandates elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
A newly created Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator role and FY2027 infrastructure investment signal readiness to act, with no competing contracts in place. Addressing these gaps now aligns with budget timing, supports NIMS compliance, and strengthens coordinated emergency response for the communities served.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently depends on a shared regional notification system, limiting direct operational control during declared emergencies. This dependency creates reliability and coordination risks that undermine timely public alerting when it matters most.
The opportunity
A near-term 2026 technology refresh window and increased FY2027 technology budget create a viable, timely funding path. Establishing district-owned notification capability strengthens emergency response, supports NIMS compliance, and reduces reliance on external systems with no incumbent contract to displace.
Web Accessibility & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a federally mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring its public-facing website to meet digital accessibility standards. Failure to comply elevates legal and civil rights risk and limits equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2026 technology refresh budget and increased software license and support spending create a near-term funding window to begin remediation ahead of the 2028 deadline. Acting now allows the district to phase implementation, reduce last-minute procurement risk, and align costs with current fiscal planning cycles.
Cybersecurity Training & Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The FY2027 proposed budget includes a mandated increase in cybersecurity training and expanded allocations for endpoint hardware and software licensing, reflecting recognized gaps in the district's current security posture. With over $610,000 in annual IT and software spend, the organization has meaningful capacity to address endpoint vulnerabilities and workforce readiness risks.
The opportunity
A budget-approved 2026 technology refresh covering communications, endpoint, and software creates a near-term window to advance cybersecurity priorities already aligned with FY planning cycles. Acting within this cycle reduces operational risk, satisfies the training mandate, and positions the district to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district has documented vehicle damage and active insurance claims, signaling an unaddressed fleet safety risk. No formal safety programs or driver monitoring technologies are currently in place, leaving a critical gap in incident prevention and response capabilities.
The opportunity
A budget-approved fleet modernization initiative and the PROTECT Competitive Grant Program—which funds transportation technology and equipment—create a strong funding pathway now. Acting within the current capital and grant cycle reduces liability exposure and advances public safety outcomes.
PROTECT Competitive Grant Program
Discuss this project →Emergency Dispatch Coordination & Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a split dispatch ecosystem across two separate platforms, creating coordination gaps and unified incident response risks. NIMS compliance obligations and recent declared emergencies elevate the urgency of consolidating dispatch operations into a cohesive, reliable framework.
The opportunity
A newly established Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator role and capital investment in dispatch infrastructure signal leadership readiness to act. The FY2027 budget cycle and available emergency management funding pathways make this an optimal window to reduce operational risk and strengthen coordinated response.
