Fleet Safety & Vehicle Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has sustained multiple fleet-involved accidents exceeding $33,000 in repairs, an overspent precinct insurance budget, and a $0 Worker's Compensation allocation despite prior-year claims—signaling critical gaps in fleet oversight and risk management. Outstanding audit findings on capital asset tracking and active Commissioners Court discussions underscore the urgency of formalizing fleet management controls.
The opportunity
A $120,000 capital outlay for vehicle equipment upgrades is already budget-approved, and the FY27 budget cycle with an October 1st enactment deadline creates an immediate procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place to streamline acquisition, and state grant programs may offset additional costs for eligible vehicle and safety technology investments.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has a budget-approved IT and cybersecurity modernization initiative with funded training for 2026, yet three outstanding audit findings related to financial controls and capital assets signal unresolved compliance gaps. Legacy endpoint security software remains in place, and the county is evaluating a statewide cyber program, creating urgency to modernize credential and access management before the next audit cycle.
The opportunity
With the IT department budget approved at over $805,000 for FY 2025–2026 and the FY27 planning cycle underway, there is a near-term window to act. JAG grant eligibility and cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce local match requirements, while addressing audit findings now limits compliance and operational risk.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks an established EOP version and review date, has a vacant Emergency Management coordinator role, and carries an unresolved riverine-flooding mitigation action — each representing measurable preparedness and compliance risk. With the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan update underway, these gaps require immediate attention to maintain continuity and protect residents.
The opportunity
The FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program provides a funded pathway for high-priority backup power infrastructure, and the active FY27 budget cycle creates a near-term decision window. Addressing planning gaps now reduces operational risk, supports mandate compliance, and positions the county to act before the grant window closes.

IT Modernization · Audit Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Three outstanding audit findings tied to financial controls and capital asset accounting signal an urgent compliance gap requiring immediate remediation. Expanding IT infrastructure—including growing subscription licenses and personnel—heightens the risk of untracked assets and continued audit exposure.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget planning cycle and a significantly increased IT budget create a clear window to act before the October 1st enactment deadline. Cooperative purchasing memberships are in place, enabling streamlined procurement that accelerates remediation and strengthens fiscal stewardship.
