Emergency Operations Plan Development and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No publicly verifiable Emergency Operations Plan exists, staffing gaps persist, and the regional emergency notification system's operational status is unknown. FEMA NIMS adoption requirements and Tennessee Emergency Management (TEMA BEOP) compliance mandates elevate risk for residents and first responders without a formalized preparedness framework.
The opportunity
A dispatch agreement renewal or rebid decision anticipated by June 30, 2027 creates a near-term planning window, while budget increases in the Civil Defense department signal available capacity. Formalizing the EOP now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens regional coordination, and positions the jurisdiction ahead of the next budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is engaged in a regional emergency notification initiative, but the current system's operational status is unverified, creating a critical gap in public alerting readiness. NIMS compliance requirements and Tennessee emergency management mandates further elevate the risk of an unresolved notification capability.
The opportunity
A dispatch agreement decision point by June 30, 2027 creates a near-term window to align notification infrastructure with regional emergency operations. Budget increases in Civil Defense appropriations signal available capacity, and acting within the current fiscal cycle supports compliance, continuity, and community safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Readiness
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance for all public-facing web pages, forms, and PDFs by April 26, 2028. Entities that fall short face legal exposure and risk excluding residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined procurement window, and acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for remediation, testing, and validation before enforcement begins. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's existing managed IT services agreement reveals gaps in endpoint protection and credential management, leaving public systems and sensitive data exposed. Without standardized controls, departments face elevated risk of unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruption.
The opportunity
Budget increases in Data Processing Equipment and Maintenance Agreements signal available funding capacity within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and credential management gaps now reduces operational risk and aligns with the county's established IT services framework.

Discuss this project →Fire Department Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department currently operates without dash cameras or telematics systems, creating gaps in accident investigation capability and driver accountability. As fleet activity and associated costs grow, the absence of real-time vehicle monitoring elevates operational and liability risk for the department and the public it serves.
The opportunity
Rising transportation fund expenditures signal growing fleet demand, making this a timely moment to invest in preventive safety infrastructure before incidents occur. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current budget cycle.
