Fleet Safety Modernization and Vehicle Risk Reduction
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has incurred over $99,000 in vehicle accident settlements within the past year, drawing media scrutiny and generating significant liability exposure. The current fleet tracking solution has not prevented recurring incidents, creating an urgent need for enhanced driver safety oversight and operational accountability.
The opportunity
An active $1.7M public safety grant includes funding for specialized vehicles and safety equipment, and the FY2027 budget cycle opens for workshops in August 2026 with adoption by October 1—creating a defined window to act. Addressing fleet safety now reduces liability, strengthens public trust, and aligns capital investment with available grant funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has an undocumented review status, a grant-funded coordinator position ending soon creates staffing continuity risk, and recent severe flooding disaster declarations expose active response gaps. A courthouse closure caused by a vehicle incident further underscores the urgency of strengthening incident response capabilities.
The opportunity
An active FEMA IPAWS compliance mandate, funded EOC modernization initiatives, and an upcoming budget cycle create a time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps. With over $1.2M in emergency management and public safety tech spend already allocated, this project aligns with available funding and delivers measurable improvements to community resilience and operational continuity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An active mass notification platform faces an uncertain contract renewal timeline, creating a potential gap in emergency communications for residents and first responders. Recent severe flooding disaster declarations underscore the operational risk of any disruption to this critical public alerting capability.
The opportunity
FEMA IPAWS compliance obligations and active EOC modernization initiatives make this a near-term evaluation priority, supported by the current budget cycle and available public safety technology funding. Addressing contract uncertainty now ensures continuity of emergency communications and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal year.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has unresolved WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance gaps across public-facing web properties, particularly with older PDFs and third-party content. A hard compliance deadline of April 24, 2026 creates immediate legal exposure and risk of excluding residents from essential digital services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline makes remediation immediately time-sensitive, and the active budget cycle—with workshops in August 2026—provides a current funding window to act. Addressing these gaps now reduces legal liability, advances equitable public access, and aligns with fiscal-year planning.
Countywide IT Endpoint & Cybersecurity Consolidation
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented IT and security environment across multiple incumbent vendors, increasing exposure to cyber risk and complicating standardized management. A countywide two-factor authentication and password security policy rollout is underway, and an active SaaS migration for the Sheriff's Office—including managed detection and response—signals growing urgency to consolidate and standardize endpoint security.
The opportunity
An active $5.9M Technology Modernization budget and the BJA FY 2026 JAG program—which explicitly covers criminal-justice IT modernization—provide viable funding pathways. Consolidating now reduces operational risk, supports compliance with countywide security mandates, and aligns with the current budget cycle ahead of the FY 2027 adoption deadline.

Discuss this project →CAD/RMS System Renewal or Replacement
Public Safety Technology · Criminal Justice IT
High Priority
About this project
The current CAD/RMS contract expires December 31, 2026, creating a defined and time-sensitive window to evaluate renewal or competitive replacement. This mission-critical system supports Sheriff's Office dispatch and records management, and unplanned disruption would directly impact public safety operations and service continuity.
The opportunity
The active FY 2027 budget cycle—with workshops in August 2026 and adoption by October 1—aligns procurement timing with this decision window. The BJA FY 2026 JAG program explicitly supports criminal-justice information systems, offering a viable funding pathway to advance this project within the current grant cycle.
