EOC Consolidation & Unified Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's mass notification system operates in isolation from EOC and Sheriff's Office dispatch, creating critical coordination gaps during emergencies. Active risks—including drought, wildfire, and border security concerns—combined with a standing NIMS compliance requirement, elevate the urgency of unified emergency operations.
The opportunity
With $45,000 earmarked for emergency management technology and FY2027 budget adoption set for September 15, 2026, the joint EOC planning phase is an immediate window to consolidate systems. Acting now aligns procurement with the active budget cycle and positions the county to leverage cooperative purchasing vehicles for streamlined acquisition.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Privileged Access Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
An active annual cybersecurity-compliance obligation requires secure password management and access-control support by August 31, 2026. A ransomware attack in a neighboring jurisdiction and ongoing IT modernization activity heighten the operational and security risk for staff, systems, and public data.
The opportunity
The August 31, 2026 compliance deadline and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program—closing October 16, 2026 and eligible for information systems and technology improvements—create a narrow, funded window. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens public-sector data protection, and aligns with the upcoming FY2027 budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Modernizing County IT Endpoint Management Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively modernizing core public safety and administrative systems, signaling readiness to expand endpoint management and IT operations capabilities. Without unified endpoint oversight, operational continuity, data integrity, and cybersecurity compliance obligations—including an annual mandate due August 31, 2026—remain at risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption on September 15, 2026 and an active JAG grant window—eligible for equipment and information systems—create a near-term funding pathway. Acting now aligns procurement with budget cycles, supports compliance deadlines, and strengthens countywide IT resilience before the window closes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office faces a proposed 25% insurance budget increase driven by aging fleet assets, including ambulances currently undergoing refurbishment. The absence of telematics or driver safety monitoring leaves the agency without data to mitigate liability, control costs, or document safe operations.
The opportunity
Active ambulance refurbishment creates a near-term entry point for fleet safety technology, with the FY2027 budget cycle and conditional law enforcement grant funding offering viable cost offsets. Deploying telematics now supports measurable risk reduction and strengthens the case for insurance stabilization.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity has a standing commitment to WCAG 2.0 Level AA website accessibility compliance that remains unresolved, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access to government services. Continued inaction elevates both ADA-related liability and public trust risk.
The opportunity
A defined compliance requirement provides a clear, actionable entry point for remediation within the current planning cycle, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in place to streamline procurement. Addressing this now reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
