EOC Equipment Modernization and Readiness Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified critical gaps in its Emergency Operations Center, including outdated equipment that undermines command readiness during disasters. The EOC Support Unit Trailer Equipment Upgrade is an active strategic initiative, and participation in the State Homeland Security Grant Program adds a compliance dimension to this operational need.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026–2027 budget reflects a 13.7% increase in Emergency Management spending, and grant pathways through SHSGP and JAG are already identified, reducing local funding burden. Acting within this budget cycle positions the county to close preparedness gaps, strengthen disaster response, and maximize available grant dollars.
Mass Notification System Consolidation and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently operates a fragmented mass notification environment across two platforms, creating reliability gaps and inconsistent alerting capabilities during critical incidents. Documented emergency preparedness deficiencies and State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) compliance obligations elevate the operational and public safety risk of maintaining the status quo.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget reflects a 13.7% increase in Emergency Management funding, signaling near-term investment capacity. Available grant pathways and established cooperative purchasing vehicles support an accelerated, cost-effective procurement process aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
NG911 System Modernization for County Dispatch
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified NG911 modernization as a named strategic initiative, with outdated dispatch and emergency communications infrastructure presenting critical operational risk. Increased FY 2026–2027 budget allocations for Dispatch confirm active planning, but gaps in system capability remain a public safety concern.
The opportunity
JAG funding has been previously considered for dispatch stations, providing a documented and viable pathway to advance this initiative with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with adopted budget support and reduces risk to emergency response continuity.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a firm April 24, 2027 federal deadline to bring its public-facing web presence into full WCAG/ADA compliance. Software procurement is already underway within the existing CMS and SaaS ecosystem, but remediation must be completed on time to avoid legal exposure and ensure equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The non-negotiable regulatory deadline makes this a near-term budget priority, with existing SaaS spend already confirmed in the adopted FY 2026–2027 budget. Cooperative procurement vehicles are available to accelerate acquisition and reduce administrative burden, supporting timely, cost-effective compliance.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's FY 2026–2027 budget reflects a ~200% increase in network security spending and a 24% rise in IT/managed services, signaling urgent gaps in cybersecurity posture and endpoint management. Active strategic initiatives targeting network security upgrades and communications infrastructure indicate elevated operational and compliance risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget allocations are already in place for this fiscal cycle, and JAG funding explicitly covers information systems and technology improvement projects, reducing local cost burden. Acting now aligns procurement with approved appropriations and strengthens the county's cybersecurity resilience before the next budget cycle closes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Telematics Oversight Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A 7.5% increase in auto liability insurance costs and growing litigation exposure signal escalating financial and safety risk tied to county fleet operations. Strengthening fleet oversight and telematics capabilities is critical to reducing liability, improving driver accountability, and protecting public assets.
The opportunity
FTA grant funding offers a conditional match pathway for fleet safety initiatives, and cooperative purchasing agreements support a streamlined, compliant acquisition process. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to reduce insurance costs, mitigate litigation risk, and demonstrate responsible stewardship of public resources.
