Web Accessibility & Document Remediation Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The District faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate by April 2028, with active but incomplete remediation of public-facing web content and large-scale documents. Gaps in PDF workflows and online form accessibility—including well-drilling and registration submissions—elevate legal and operational risk for the public served.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a defined procurement window, and the parent entity has already signaled budget support through increased website expenditures. Interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements may reduce procurement complexity, and this initiative is eligible for alignment with current federal and state funding cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The District currently lacks a formal agency-level Emergency Operations Plan, leaving staff and the public without a structured framework for incident coordination—even as county-level declarations have already occurred. This preparedness gap elevates operational and liability risk and signals an urgent need for foundational emergency management infrastructure.
The opportunity
Resilience-focused federal grant programs, including the PROTECT Competitive Grant Program and the Homeland Security Grant Program, offer viable funding paths to address this gap with limited local match. A recent emergency management leadership hire signals organizational readiness, making the current fiscal window the right moment to act.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The District's current public notification tool lacks dedicated incident coordination and EOC capabilities, creating a fragmented emergency communications ecosystem. Without a unified platform, the District's ability to manage large-scale incidents, coordinate response, and communicate reliably with the public remains critically limited.
The opportunity
HSGP and PROTECT Competitive Grant Program funding windows support resilience and communications infrastructure improvements, reducing local budget pressure. Active drought monitoring and resilience initiatives signal near-term demand, making this an ideal moment to close the emergency preparedness gap.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The District faces overdue compliance obligations under the Texas Covered Applications policy, creating unmet regulatory risk. While specific technology requirements are still being scoped, the mandate establishes a clear baseline for action to protect public systems and data.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is an eligible funding pathway for cybersecurity and communications improvements, reducing reliance on the District's modest IT budget. Addressing this mandate now mitigates regulatory exposure and positions the District for a structured, grant-supported remediation effort.
