Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, has unresolved mass notification gaps, and has not conducted HSEEP-style exercises — creating significant preparedness risk and compliance exposure tied to NIMS adoption requirements for emergency management funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Two grant deadlines in July 2026 (BRIC and HSGP) directly align with public alert, mass notification, and interoperable communications needs, and a $1.6M budget amendment signals an active procurement window. Acting now positions the department to close compliance gaps, strengthen community resilience, and secure available funding before the cycle closes.
Fleet Modernization and Telematics Readiness
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is replacing key apparatus—including a new ambulance and tanker budgeted for 2026—under a compliance mandate to complete fleet modernization by December 2026. No telematics or dashcam solution is currently in place, leaving driver safety monitoring and recorded-evidence capabilities unaddressed.
The opportunity
A recently passed millage creates a defined 2025–2027 funding window, with 2026 vehicle purchases already budgeted—establishing a clear procurement timeline. Acting within this cycle ensures compliance, closes safety monitoring gaps, and maximizes alignment with available public funds before the window closes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a firm July 2026 deadline to replace end-of-life firewall infrastructure, with additional gaps in endpoint management and identity security. Failure to act risks non-compliance, increased vulnerability exposure, and disruption to critical public safety operations.
The opportunity
A hard procurement deadline and active IT budget cycle create a defined window to address compliance and reduce cyber risk before the fiscal year closes. This project aligns with current IT spending patterns and is eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline government purchasing.

Discuss this project →Emergency Dispatch & Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Interoperable Communications
High Priority
About this project
Interoperable communications gaps and the absence of a current Emergency Operations Plan expose the county to operational and compliance risk, including unmet NIMS adoption requirements. Dispatch modernization and county-level alert integration are identified strategic priorities with direct impact on public safety response.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant deadlines in July 2026 explicitly fund interoperable communications and public alert systems, and an active 2025–2027 millage window creates a near-term procurement opportunity. Advancing this project now closes critical preparedness gaps while maximizing available federal and local funding alignment.
Digital Engagement & Public-Facing Portal Development
Digital Services · Civic Engagement
High Priority
About this project
A digital engagement and public-facing portal initiative has been identified as part of the department's strategic roadmap, though it remains a lower priority with no dedicated funding currently established. No web accessibility compliance gaps have been documented at this time.
The opportunity
Monitoring for emerging funding signals or leadership prioritization shifts could accelerate this initiative within the upcoming fiscal cycle. Early planning positions the department to act quickly when budget alignment or grant opportunities materialize.
