IT Infrastructure Modernization & Endpoint Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Lumberton MUD recently suffered a critical server failure and data loss event, exposing serious gaps in infrastructure resilience, endpoint management, and backup capabilities. These vulnerabilities create direct operational continuity risk for utility service delivery and public reliability.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 budget is approved with a 172.7% increase in IT and technical support spending, making this a fully funded, near-term initiative. Acting now addresses active operational risk, establishes a resilient baseline, and leverages a greenfield environment with cooperative procurement already in place.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent server failure and data loss event exposed critical gaps in the district's cybersecurity posture, including inadequate password management and insufficient endpoint hardening. With no formal compliance mandate, operational disruption and the risk of repeat incidents are the primary drivers for immediate action.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget includes a significant increase in IT and cybersecurity spending, creating a funded, greenfield opportunity with no existing solutions to displace. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns modernization efforts with available appropriations and reduces ongoing operational risk to public infrastructure.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Lumberton MUD faces a non-discretionary mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 2028, with the initiative currently unfunded. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and limits equitable public access to essential utility services and digital resources.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined window, but procurement and implementation lead times make near-term planning critical. Cooperative procurement vehicles may support cost-effective structuring, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance and legal risk.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district is expanding its fleet without any dash cameras, telematics systems, or fleet safety audits in place, creating a significant evidence and accountability gap. This exposes the district to elevated liability, safety, and claims risks across daily operations.
The opportunity
Fleet equipment funding is approved in the current 2026–2027 budget cycle, making this a capital-ready, greenfield deployment with no legacy systems to displace. Acting now aligns spending with approved appropriations and closes a documented safety gap before fleet expansion is complete.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Lumberton MUD lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan and a dedicated mass-notification platform, relying on county resources for hazard mitigation support. A history of boil-water notices and tropical storm impacts, combined with a pending drought contingency plan update, elevates operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Leadership has already identified after-hours callout capability as a strategic priority, signaling readiness to act within the current budget cycle. Cooperative procurement eligibility streamlines acquisition, and addressing these gaps now reduces non-discretionary risk while improving emergency response outcomes for the community.
