Emergency Operations Plan Update & Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is 4.5 years old, exceeding the 2–4 year review benchmark and creating measurable compliance and operational risk. The current mass notification system operates separately from Sheriff/911 dispatch, fragmenting emergency response coordination and leaving gaps in public alerting coverage.
The opportunity
The Emergency Management budget is increasing 19.5% in FY2026-27, with strategic initiatives already approved or actively seeking funding — making this an immediate engagement window. Addressing the overdue EOP and consolidating notification systems now reduces liability, strengthens public safety outcomes, and positions the county to leverage available state and federal preparedness funding.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas's active cybersecurity training mandate requires county-wide controls, yet critical gaps remain in password management and comprehensive endpoint oversight. Existing managed IT services leave these areas exposed, elevating compliance and operational risk across county departments and public-facing systems.
The opportunity
A state compliance mandate and a December 2026 contract expiration create a defined, near-term decision window. The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program identifies law-enforcement IT modernization and cybersecurity controls as eligible uses, offering a direct federal funding path aligned with planned FY2027 capital investment.

Public Safety Technology · Law Enforcement Operations
High Priority
About this project
The county's current constable mobile and dispatch platform contract expires December 31, 2026, creating a firm deadline for procuring a successor system. Failure to act promptly risks an operational gap in constable communications and dispatch continuity for residents and law enforcement staff.
The opportunity
The Sheriff's Office budget has grown 17.3% in FY2026-27, with capital expenditures for law enforcement technology already planned, providing clear funding alignment. Beginning evaluation now ensures procurement can be completed before contract expiration, avoiding service disruption and supporting uninterrupted public safety operations.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent patrol-vehicle damage has elevated risk exposure and highlighted gaps in fleet visibility, in-car video, and maintenance monitoring. The county's FY2026-27 capital expenditure plan includes Sheriff vehicle investments, signaling readiness to address these operational and liability risks.
The opportunity
A $350,000 rural law enforcement grant provides a direct funding pathway for fleet safety and public safety technology investments in the current budget cycle. Acting now aligns with approved capital expenditures, reduces incident liability, and strengthens officer accountability and operational oversight.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a federal WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline by 2028, with identified gaps in document remediation and digital portal accessibility. Active website and digital services initiatives are underway, but unresolved gaps elevate legal exposure and limit equitable public access to county services.
The opportunity
The 2028 federal deadline creates a firm planning horizon, and the county's active digital modernization posture supports near-term procurement. Addressing accessibility gaps now aligns with current budget cycles, reduces compliance risk, and ensures equitable service delivery for all residents.
