Emergency Operations Plan Review and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review as of 2025, exposing the jurisdiction to compliance risk and operational vulnerability. A major flood event in July 2026 revealed critical failures in emergency alert systems, and a recent leadership transition in the Emergency Management Coordinator role has further elevated the urgency to formalize updated plans.
The opportunity
A new Emergency Management Coordinator, an active flood recovery context, and an upcoming budget hearing create a near-term window to advance this project with leadership receptivity and funding alignment. Positive public safety budget signals and cooperative purchasing programs support an efficient, compliant procurement path this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A security-related outage and critical alert delays during a July 2026 flood exposed serious failures in public emergency communications. Fragmented alerting systems between the county and city reduce coordination and coverage, compounding risk for residents during active disaster events.
The opportunity
The July 2026 flood disaster has created immediate pressure to resolve alerting gaps before the next emergency. Active solicitations for Unified Communications and CAD/RMS signal near-term procurement momentum, cooperative purchasing programs are in place, and public safety funding signals support action this fiscal cycle.

Emergency Communications · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified its 9-1-1 network and CAD/RMS/Unified Communications infrastructure as insufficient for current operational demands, with active RFPs signaling imminent procurement decisions. A recent major flood disaster exposed critical gaps in emergency alerting and communications continuity, elevating risk to public safety and service delivery.
The opportunity
FY2026 has designated this a top-priority initiative, and active solicitations mean selection timelines are already in motion. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to reduce procurement friction, and public safety funding signals support investment now to close communications gaps before the next emergency event.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
Existing digital portals have known WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility gaps, placing the entity at risk of non-compliance with a firm 2028 federal mandate. Unaddressed barriers limit equitable public access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance deadline supports a phased remediation approach, making early planning critical to avoid costly last-minute overhauls. Ongoing IT modernization efforts and cooperative purchasing programs already in use can streamline procurement and reduce time to compliance.
Cybersecurity & Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's centralized IT environment faces identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities, with gaps in endpoint and credential security posing operational and data integrity risks. Ongoing IT modernization efforts and network/endpoint management needs signal urgency to strengthen infrastructure resilience across county systems.
The opportunity
A federal grant program with a deadline within 90 days explicitly covers information systems, cybersecurity, and endpoint management, offering a near-term funding pathway with strong alignment. Acting within the current grant window reduces risk exposure, supports compliance, and leverages an annual IT spend profile that supports sustainable investment.

Discuss this project →Emergency Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates emergency fleet and specialty equipment without a confirmed active telematics solution, creating visibility and accountability gaps. A documented fleet replacement shortfall adds capital pressure, and the absence of real-time vehicle data elevates operational and liability risk for public safety personnel.
The opportunity
Addressing this gap proactively—before an incident drives the need—aligns with the city's favorable public safety budget posture and active use of cooperative purchasing programs that streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle supports responsible stewardship and positions the department ahead of capital replacement deadlines.
