Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's Hazard Mitigation Plan is overdue, no agency-level Emergency Operations Plan exists, and current operations lack NIMS/EOP alignment — gaps recently underscored by a severe weather event. These deficiencies create measurable operational, liability, and compliance exposure for staff and the communities served.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs including HSGP and HMGP are directly applicable to close these preparedness gaps, and county leadership has formally prioritized emergency resilience — signaling alignment for near-term action. Advancing this project now reduces liability exposure, satisfies compliance mandates, and positions the district ahead of the upcoming budget cycle.
Agency-Level Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies solely on county-level infrastructure for emergency communications, with no agency-specific mass notification capability, leaving staff and constituents without direct alerts during incidents. This gap, compounded by an overdue Hazard Mitigation Plan and absent agency-level EOP, creates measurable operational and liability exposure.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs present viable, near-term funding paths for emergency communication infrastructure with limited local match requirements. With a budget approval milestone approaching and emergency preparedness identified as a co-priority resilience initiative, acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the agency to close a critical communications gap and strengthen compliance with NIMS-aligned preparedness standards.
Fleet Telematics Expansion & Safety Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An existing three-year fleet telematics agreement covers 125 vehicles, with recent approval to add 10 gateway licenses, signaling active expansion. A Countywide Safety Action Plan mandating reduced traffic fatalities creates a compliance-backed urgency to scale fleet visibility and safety management.
The opportunity
Approved expansion licenses represent a confirmed near-term procurement action, supported by dedicated Machinery & Equipment Revolving Fund budget for transportation vehicles. The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program offers an explicit matching grant for public safety fleet telematics, aligning with the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management & IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Security
High Priority
About this project
The county's Innovation & Technology fund has received a $1.2M budget increase earmarked for hardware, IT computer replacement, maintenance, and consulting. With annual IT and software spend approaching $9.6M and endpoint management undocumented at the district level, gaps in visibility and operational continuity pose measurable risk.
The opportunity
Approved funding and a confirmed Budget Approval milestone in September 2026 create a defined procurement window aligned to fiscal-year planning. Acting within this cycle ensures earmarked dollars are deployed effectively, reduces endpoint risk, and supports long-term infrastructure stewardship.

Discuss this project →Centralized Credential Management for District Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented centralized password management solution, creating an unaddressed gap in credential hygiene and overall cybersecurity posture. Without structured controls, public systems and sensitive data remain exposed to credential-based threats and audit risk.
The opportunity
The district's active technology investment cycle and substantial IT budget create a near-term window to close this gap, with cybersecurity initiatives potentially eligible for BRIC or HSGP funding. Acting within the current fiscal planning period strengthens security posture and supports responsible stewardship of public resources.
