Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan and a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, creating critical compliance and operational gaps. These deficiencies elevate risk under EMPG mandates and leave residents without a coordinated mass notification system during emergencies.
The opportunity
FEMA funding paths—including BRIC, HSGP, and EMPG—are directly applicable to closing these preparedness gaps, reducing local cost burden. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the county's active budget planning activity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks a county-wide mass notification system, identified as a critical preparedness gap that limits timely communication with residents and staff during emergencies. This absence elevates operational risk and conflicts with EMPG compliance expectations for baseline emergency communication capability.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs — including BRIC, HSGP, and EMPG — provide viable funding paths for mass notification initiatives, reducing the local budget burden. Acting within the current grant cycle addresses a greenfield gap, strengthens community resilience, and advances compliance with emergency management mandates.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Current credential policies require password disclosure, creating a direct cybersecurity vulnerability and compliance gap. With an active IT transition underway and CIPA requirements in scope, unaddressed credential risks expose the organization to audit findings and operational disruption.
The opportunity
A confirmed annual IT and software budget, combined with the urgency of an upcoming infrastructure transition and CIPA compliance obligations, creates a timely window to act. Addressing credential management now reduces risk exposure, supports policy alignment, and positions the organization ahead of the fiscal cycle.
IT Infrastructure Modernization for Authority Transition
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The CMHOC transition to Authority status by January 1, 2027 requires significant IT infrastructure updates, including Active Directory and SharePoint migration, website development, and cybersecurity policy alignment. Delays in planning elevate operational risk and may jeopardize compliance readiness ahead of the hard transition deadline.
The opportunity
The 2027 Authority transition creates a firm, near-term planning window where proactive investment in infrastructure and security modernization reduces risk and supports continuity of public services. This project aligns with the current fiscal cycle and may be eligible for cybersecurity-focused state and federal funding opportunities.
Website & Digital Services Modernization
Digital Services · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization is actively discontinuing a current digital offering and reallocating its funding toward expanded digital library services, while gaps in the website technology stack and split ecosystem signals indicate modernization is overdue. Without a cohesive digital services strategy, service continuity and equitable public access to library resources remain at risk.
The opportunity
Reallocated budget from discontinued digital services creates an immediate, internal funding pathway to advance modernization within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures uninterrupted public access, supports cooperative procurement efficiencies, and positions the organization ahead of growing accessibility and compliance expectations.
