Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly confirmed Emergency Operations Plan and has unresolved gaps in mass-notification capability, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. A standing mandate to maintain emergency management plans, combined with an active dispatch center transition, heightens exposure during critical incidents.
The opportunity
A voter-approved tax-cap increase and a significantly expanded FY 2027 budget create immediate funding availability for emergency preparedness investments. The ongoing dispatch center transition and modernization program establish a defined procurement window aligned with current fiscal-year planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The department is advancing construction of a regional dispatch center while managing an active EOC transition and TECC lease change, creating urgent requirements for integrated technology and communications systems. Without a confirmed Emergency Operations Plan or mass-notification solution in place, operational continuity and compliance with emergency management mandates remain at risk.
The opportunity
Voter-approved tax-cap authority and a significantly increased FY 2027 budget create a well-funded, time-sensitive window to advance this capital initiative. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures technology and communications infrastructure aligns with construction timelines, reduces operational gaps, and strengthens regional emergency response capacity for the communities served.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The FY 2027 budget reflects active investment in IT hardware, software, and cybersecurity insurance, signaling a department-wide modernization effort. With no identified cybersecurity incumbent and a substantial public-safety technology spend, gaps in endpoint protection and system resilience pose operational and continuity risk to emergency services delivery.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget allocations are active, and cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place to streamline procurement with reduced administrative burden. Addressing cybersecurity and infrastructure gaps now protects critical public-safety operations and aligns with the current funding and planning cycle.

Digital Accessibility · Compliance Mandates
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a hard WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible public-facing digital content. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and restricts equitable public access to critical fire and emergency services information.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 budget reflects increased IT and software spending, creating a defined funding window to act ahead of the 2028 deadline. Early remediation reduces legal risk, supports equitable community access, and allows phased implementation within existing procurement frameworks.
Fleet Safety Technology Evaluation & Implementation
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department has recorded multiple fleet-involved incidents, including a direct vehicle strike, signaling a gap in proactive driver safety oversight. No telematics or driver-facing camera systems are currently in place, leaving the department without data-driven tools to reduce incident recurrence and protect personnel and the public.
The opportunity
A recent leadership hire in fleet equipment creates a natural entry point for a structured safety technology evaluation ahead of the FY2027 budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating implementation timelines.
