Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan status is unknown, with no documented exercises or audits, while its mass-notification environment is actively transitioning away from a legacy platform. Recent FEMA declarations for severe weather and wildfires confirm real incident exposure, and unmet NIMS/ICS compliance mandates elevate operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
A state grant with a September 2026 deadline provides a direct funding path for interoperable communications and emergency equipment, aligning with the county's regional modernization target. Acting within this window closes critical preparedness gaps, satisfies compliance mandates, and strengthens coordinated response capacity for residents and first responders.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A January 2025 data security incident affecting over 3,200 individuals has elevated political and compliance pressure, while a mandated cybersecurity training deadline of August 31, 2026 and an expiring interim IT services contract create compounding operational vulnerability. Without timely action, the county risks audit exposure, continued service gaps, and unresolved accountability to affected residents.
The opportunity
A convergence of a hard compliance deadline, an expiring IT contract, and a newly adopted budget with a 22.6% general fund increase creates a rare, time-bound window to address cybersecurity gaps with available capacity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with budget authority and reduces ongoing risk to public data and operations.

IT Modernization · Managed Services
High Priority
About this project
The county's interim IT services agreement expires September 30, 2026, with no confirmed long-term management solution in place following the departure of the IT Manager. This gap elevates operational continuity and data security risk for county staff and residents.
The opportunity
The contract expiration creates an immediate, time-bound procurement window that aligns with the newly adopted FY 2026–2027 budget reflecting a 22.6% general fund increase. Acting now allows the county to competitively evaluate solutions, leverage cooperative purchasing, and avoid a lapse in critical IT coverage.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has publicly committed to achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility by April 26, 2028, but the current website platform may require supplemental tooling or replacement to meet document and content requirements. Gaps in digital accessibility expose the county to legal and reputational risk while limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
Early action enables a phased remediation approach, reducing cost and compliance risk ahead of the 2028 deadline, and aligns with the county's newly adopted FY 2026–2027 budget reflecting increased general fund capacity. A strategic initiative for accessibility improvement is already identified, signaling organizational readiness to move forward now.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Program
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
Sheriff's Office vehicle repair costs spiked significantly in FY2024, and the absence of telematics or dash cameras has created an evidence and accountability gap that limits incident documentation and driver safety oversight. Without fleet monitoring in place, the county faces elevated operational risk and reduced ability to manage liability and asset performance.
The opportunity
An active grant-supported Sheriff's Office equipment program and the State Border Security Reinforcement Fund (deadline: September 17, 2026) provide near-term, eligible funding paths for fleet technology acquisition. Acting within the current grant window and the newly adopted FY2026–2027 budget cycle positions the county to reduce costs, close accountability gaps, and strengthen public safety operations.
