Emergency Operations Plan and Alerting System Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a mass notification system, and sufficient staffing capacity for emergency preparedness — gaps that create significant compliance and operational risk. With an Emergency Preparedness Score of 4, the need for structured planning and public alerting infrastructure is critical and immediate.
The opportunity
Federal grant programs, including FEMA HSGP and BRIC, are actively aligned to fund emergency management equipment and mass notification systems, and a September 2026 budget meeting creates a near-term fiscal window. Acting now positions the district to close compliance gaps, strengthen community resilience, and leverage available funding before the cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks any mass notification or public alerting capability, a critical gap that leaves residents and staff without timely emergency communications. With no Emergency Operations Plan in place and limited staffing capacity, the risk to public safety and operational continuity is significant.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant programs are directly aligned to fund mass notification and emergency preparedness infrastructure, with county-level public safety investment already signaling strong regional priority. Acting within the current grant cycle and ahead of the FY2026 budget process positions the district to close a documented safety gap with limited local match required.

Discuss this project →County Website Redesign for Accessibility Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A county website redesign initiative, identified as a top priority as early as 2022, remains incomplete and overdue. WCAG 2.1 compliance requirements present a growing legal and operational risk, limiting equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
The 2026 budget cycle and active technology modernization priorities create a clear funding and decision window to advance this initiative. Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal exposure, improves constituent service delivery, and aligns with broader digital equity goals eligible for modernization funding.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented compliance need for credential and password management, combined with a public safety core switch operating near capacity, exposes the organization to significant cybersecurity and operational risk. Broad IT modernization goals remain unmet, leaving endpoints and critical infrastructure vulnerable.
The opportunity
The FY26 COPS TEP grant offers a direct funding pathway for cybersecurity solutions, and an upcoming 2026 budget cycle anchors near-term procurement timing. Addressing credential security and network capacity now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens continuity of public safety operations.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified IT infrastructure and endpoint management as strategic modernization priorities, with a core switch operating near capacity and an active annual IT spend confirming a functioning but strained technology environment. Unaddressed infrastructure gaps elevate operational risk and may hinder service continuity for staff and residents.
The opportunity
The active FY2026 budget cycle and an established cooperative procurement pathway create a timely window to advance infrastructure upgrades with reduced procurement friction. Addressing near-capacity systems now supports operational continuity, aligns with the county's stated modernization mandate, and positions the project for current-cycle funding consideration.
