Airport-Wide Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The airport authority currently lacks a current airport-wide Emergency Operations Plan, creating significant regulatory exposure under recurring FAA Part 139 mandates that require formal emergency planning and exercises. This gap poses direct operational and compliance risk to an active public airport and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
An approved FY26 budget includes a dedicated allocation for emergency management and public safety technology, creating a near-term purchasing window with identified funding already in place. Addressing this gap now closes a critical compliance exposure, strengthens operational readiness, and positions the authority ahead of recurring FAA audit cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The airport currently lacks a dedicated mass-notification platform, leaving staff and operations without a reliable alerting mechanism during incidents or emergencies. This gap compounds an existing EOP deficiency and elevates risk exposure under FAA Part 139 emergency preparedness mandates, which are recurring and critical to continued airport operations.
The opportunity
An approved FY26 public safety technology budget of $133,500 and a separately funded lightning detection and notification initiative create a clear, near-term window to act. Addressing this now closes a compliance gap, strengthens operational continuity, and aligns with active capital planning cycles before the fiscal year closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The airport authority has identified a lightning detection and notification system as a discrete safety initiative, with gaps in airfield personnel alerting that elevate operational and FAA Part 139 compliance risk. Without a dedicated system, staff and airside operations remain exposed during severe weather events.
The opportunity
This initiative carries an approved FY26 budget, placing procurement within the current planning cycle and making it actionable now. Addressing the gap strengthens FAA compliance posture, protects personnel safety, and complements broader emergency preparedness infrastructure already under development.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
MKAA is executing a multi-year IT modernization and cybersecurity improvement program across its airport network, with $500,000 allocated in FY26. The initiative includes IT infrastructure upgrades and fire suppression modernization, addressing critical security and operational continuity gaps within a complex environment that includes enterprise ERP systems.
The opportunity
An approved FY26 capital budget signals an active, near-term procurement window with no incumbent solution in place, representing a greenfield opportunity. Advancing this program now reduces operational and cyber risk, supports infrastructure resilience, and aligns with the authority's multi-year modernization roadmap.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Digital Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MKAA has an active strategic initiative to achieve website accessibility and inclusive digital-services capability, driven by ADA Title II mandates requiring conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. A defined future compliance deadline creates a structured remediation timeline, and failure to act elevates legal and reputational risk for the authority.
The opportunity
This initiative is already identified as a funded, budget-approved priority with near-term timelines, reducing procurement friction and aligning with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now ensures conformance ahead of the compliance deadline, protects equitable public access to digital services, and avoids costly reactive remediation.
