Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & Alert System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Marion County faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including an EOP of uncertain currency, an unresolved alert system contract renewal, and siloed EMA and dispatch workflows. A recent winter storm event has triggered FEMA Public Assistance eligibility, underscoring the urgency of closing these operational and compliance gaps.
The opportunity
Active initiatives to update the Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan and sustain public alert enrollment, combined with FEMA Public Assistance eligibility, create a timely funding and consolidation window. Addressing these gaps now strengthens countywide response coordination, reduces compliance risk, and supports responsible stewardship of public safety resources.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
Marion County faces an active ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2028. Fragmented digital services and inconsistent document workflows across county portals create compounding compliance risk and limit equitable resident access to public information.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline establishes a defined planning window, making now the right time to assess gaps and sequence remediation before costs and risk escalate. Early action supports equitable service delivery, reduces legal exposure, and aligns with cooperative procurement pathways that can simplify acquisition within existing budget cycles.

Fleet Safety · Liability Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks dash cameras and telematics across its fleet, creating unresolved gaps in collision-liability documentation and driver-behavior oversight. Without these tools, the county faces elevated operational risk and potential liability exposure in the event of an incident.
The opportunity
A FY 2026 grant opportunity aligned with fleet management may offset costs, and cooperative procurement agreements already in place can streamline acquisition. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the county to close liability gaps before an incident forces a reactive—and costlier—response.

Discuss this project →Securing County Credential and Access Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Marion County lacks a documented credential management solution, leaving county systems and sensitive resident data exposed to unauthorized access risks. Without a structured approach to password and credential governance, operational continuity and data integrity remain vulnerable across departments.
The opportunity
With no competing solutions currently in place, the county has a clear path to close this security gap before it becomes a compliance or incident-driven priority. Addressing credential management proactively aligns with responsible IT stewardship and positions the county ahead of emerging cybersecurity expectations for local government.
