Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is nearly a decade overdue for revision, creating significant compliance and operational risk. The current mass notification system is opt-in with an unverified operational status, leaving emergency communications fragmented and unreliable for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Stable Emergency Management leadership and a dedicated public safety technology budget create a clear path to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to leverage available state and federal emergency preparedness funding.
Fleet Safety Modernization: Telematics & Dash-Camera Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Two serious fleet-involved accidents—including one with significant deputy injuries and active litigation exceeding $1M—have exposed a critical gap in vehicle oversight and documentation. The absence of telematics and dash-camera evidence during proceedings underscores the operational and legal risk of delayed action.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization is budget-approved and cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, significantly reducing procurement timelines and administrative burden. Acting now limits ongoing litigation exposure, strengthens deputy safety, and positions the county to demonstrate responsible stewardship of public assets ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Cybersecurity Compliance & Endpoint Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas mandates annual cybersecurity compliance for password and credential security, with a hard deadline of August 31, 2026, creating immediate risk for non-compliant county systems. A phased co-managed IT and endpoint management initiative is underway to modernize the county's overall security posture and reduce operational exposure.
The opportunity
The JAG Program grant, with an October 2026 deadline, offers an identified funding path for cybersecurity solutions, and the county's cooperative purchasing agreements streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal window addresses the compliance mandate, reduces liability, and advances a strategic IT modernization already in motion.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, with gaps across public-facing digital portals creating legal exposure and risk of ADA-related non-compliance. Unresolved accessibility barriers limit equitable public access to government services and elevate liability for the county.
The opportunity
The county's website accessibility modernization initiative is budget-approved with active improvement work already underway, signaling strong stakeholder commitment and near-term readiness. Advancing this project within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, meets federal accessibility mandates, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's mass notification environment operates as a fragmented, split ecosystem with an opt-in system of uncertain status, limiting reliable reach to residents and staff during emergencies. This redundancy undermines incident response effectiveness and is directly tied to an Emergency Operations Plan that is nearly a decade overdue.
The opportunity
Consolidation is flagged as high-urgency, with dedicated emergency management and public safety technology budget allocations and cooperative purchasing agreements already in place to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational and compliance risk while improving equitable, reliable emergency reach countywide.
