Hazard Mitigation Plan Adoption & Emergency Management Modernization
Emergency Management · Hazard Mitigation Planning
High Priority
About this project
The department is actively pursuing Hazard Mitigation Plan adoption and emergency management improvements, while the current mass-notification platform presents a displacement opportunity. Without modernized systems, the county faces gaps in coordinated incident response and public alerting that elevate risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Multiple 2026 grant deadlines—including BRIC, HSGP, and the FEMA EOC program—create a narrow, high-value funding window aligned with active FY26/27 budget planning. Acting now positions the county to secure federal dollars, advance a top strategic priority, and reduce operational and public-safety risk before the window closes.
Mass Notification System Renewal and Re-Procurement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a defined mass-notification contract renewal window in late 2026 or early 2027, creating a time-bound decision point to evaluate, replace, or re-procure its current platform. Failure to act proactively risks service continuity gaps in public alerting, a critical function for resident safety and emergency response coordination.
The opportunity
Active FY26/27 budgeting, a proposed public-safety millage in November 2026, and grant programs aligned with hazard mitigation and emergency preparedness create a convergence of funding pathways. Initiating re-procurement now ensures competitive evaluation, cooperative procurement eligibility, and uninterrupted public notification capability ahead of the contract expiration.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates aging apparatus without fleet video or telematics capabilities, creating significant liability exposure and limiting evidence collection for incident defense. An unfunded capital replacement schedule compounds these risks, leaving personnel and the public without critical safety safeguards.
The opportunity
A current federal grant program explicitly identifies fleet telematics as eligible technology, offering a near-term funding path with streamlined cooperative procurement available. Acting within the active FY26/27 budget cycle positions the department to close safety gaps, reduce liability, and strengthen operational accountability.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity, technology improvements, and password security are identified FY26–27 budget priorities, reflecting recognized gaps in IT security posture. Without defined compliance mandates or a documented incumbent stack, the organization faces elevated exposure to credential-based threats and infrastructure vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
Active FY26–27 budget cycles with explicit cybersecurity line items create a near-term procurement window aligned with current financial planning. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk, supports continuity of public services, and positions the organization to leverage available state and federal funding pathways.
Website Modernization & Digital Accessibility Upgrade
IT Modernization · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The city has identified website modernization as a named FY26–27 strategic initiative, signaling recognized gaps in its current digital presence. Without a modern, accessible platform, the city risks failing to meet public-facing service expectations and digital accessibility standards for residents.
The opportunity
With active FY26–27 budgeting underway and this project already prioritized as a strategic initiative, the timing is favorable to advance planning and procurement. Modernizing the city's digital presence improves equitable resident access to services and positions the city for compliance with evolving accessibility requirements.
