Wildfire Emergency Response & Incident Command Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent active wildfires triggered county evacuations and exposed critical gaps in emergency preparedness, including an unverified Emergency Operations Plan and unconfirmed mass notification coverage. Leadership has approved a dedicated Emergency Management and Incident Command Coordination initiative, signaling both urgency and organizational readiness to act.
The opportunity
A FEMA Fire Management Assistance Grant and a $24,000 increase in Emergency Management Equipment funding are already in place, reducing the local fiscal burden. Addressing preparedness gaps now — during an active wildfire threat cycle — directly protects residents, strengthens compliance posture, and aligns with the current budget year.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Operations
High Priority
About this project
A serious fleet-involved accident and a 40.22% increase in auto insurance premiums have created urgent pressure to improve fleet safety and oversight within the Sheriff's Department. Rising vehicle budget allocations signal growing operational and financial risk that demands a structured, technology-supported response.
The opportunity
Direct financial consequences—including sharply higher insurance costs and an expanded vehicle budget—make this an immediate priority within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative procurement vehicles are already in place, reducing acquisition timelines and supporting responsible stewardship of public funds.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing digital properties remain out of compliance with WCAG/ADA accessibility mandates, creating ongoing legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. Existing content management infrastructure is in place, but compliance gaps persist and represent a high-risk, unresolved obligation.
The opportunity
WCAG/ADA compliance is a defensible, recurring budget priority that aligns with current IT spending trends and cooperative procurement vehicles already available to the county. Addressing gaps now reduces legal liability, improves equitable service delivery, and leverages existing infrastructure investments already in place.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has secured dedicated cybersecurity grant funding and increased its IT equipment budget, reflecting growing awareness of endpoint security risks. An existing endpoint protection tool is in place, but consolidated oversight under a newly created IT Director/Emergency Management Coordinator role signals a need to evaluate current coverage and close potential gaps.
The opportunity
Budget-approved funding — including a cybersecurity grant and expanded IT equipment allocation — creates a near-term, funded window to act within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing endpoint management now reduces operational risk, supports the county's Computer Equipment Upgrade/Modernization initiative, and strengthens the security posture of consolidated IT and emergency management functions.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county has approved a $40,000 increase to its IT Computers budget line as part of a named strategic initiative to upgrade and modernize computer equipment. With annual IT and software spend exceeding $268K, aging endpoints present operational continuity and cybersecurity risk across county departments.
The opportunity
Budget is approved and the procurement cycle is active, making this an immediate opportunity to reduce endpoint risk and improve operational efficiency. Cooperative contract vehicles are already in place, enabling faster, compliant procurement aligned with the current fiscal year.
