Airport Emergency Plan Modernization & FAA Compliance
Emergency Management · FAA Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MNAA's public emergency plan has not been updated since 2012, and the authority is operating under interim emergency management leadership with unverified notification system performance. FAA 14 CFR 139.325 mandates a full-scale emergency exercise by March 2027, creating a hard compliance deadline with real regulatory and operational exposure.
The opportunity
The March 2027 FAA exercise deadline and an approved FY27 budget with confirmed emergency management tech spend create a firm, near-term window to close preparedness gaps and unify incident communications. Acting now supports regulatory compliance, leadership continuity, and operational resilience ahead of the deadline.

Public Safety Communications · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
MNAA operates multiple disparate emergency systems — including radio, EOC, mass notification, access control, and video — that lack integration, creating coordination gaps and operational risk. With an outdated emergency plan, interim EM leadership, and FAA-mandated full-scale exercises due by March 2027, the pressure to modernize and unify communications infrastructure is both compliance-driven and mission-critical.
The opportunity
FY27 budget approval and a $475.6 million CIP create a funded, active window to consolidate fragmented public safety systems before FAA compliance deadlines arrive. Acting now reduces interoperability risk, supports continuity of emergency operations, and aligns capital investment with strategic modernization goals already in motion.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority has approved a dedicated IAM specialist role and operates within a Microsoft environment subject to NIST and PCI-DSS cybersecurity expectations. No incumbent identity or password management solution is in place, creating measurable access control and compliance risk across the organization.
The opportunity
A funded specialist role and approved IT budget signal an active procurement cycle within the current fiscal year. Addressing IAM now closes a critical compliance gap, strengthens credential security across public-facing systems, and aligns with cooperative purchasing vehicles that simplify acquisition.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Identity
High Priority
About this project
MNAA has approved FY27 budget increases for IT staffing across security, network, and automation functions, with Azure Cloud Infrastructure Transformation named as a funded strategic priority. The initiative reflects a maturing Microsoft ecosystem and the need to align cloud infrastructure with growing cybersecurity and identity management requirements, including NIST and PCI-DSS expectations.
The opportunity
With budget confirmed and new IT positions actively being filled, this initiative is positioned to move into procurement in the near term. Advancing cloud transformation now supports downstream security, endpoint management, and automation goals while aligning with the authority's approved FY27 capital and technology roadmap.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Inclusion Compliance
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
MNAA has approved a dedicated Digital Inclusion – Accessibility Specialist role and completed a recent web services procurement, signaling a proactive commitment to accessible public-facing digital properties. Ensuring WCAG conformance across web content is an operational and equity imperative for a public authority serving diverse travelers and stakeholders.
The opportunity
An active investment cycle—evidenced by a funded specialist hire and recent web services procurement—creates an immediate window to advance accessibility compliance before FY planning closes. Acting now aligns with public equity mandates, reduces legal and reputational risk, and leverages already-approved budget authority.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Safety Modernization for Airport Operations
Fleet Management · Transportation Technology
High Priority
About this project
MNAA is expanding its fleet with a newly approved $529K ARFF vehicle in the FY27 capital budget, creating a timely opportunity to integrate telematics and safety monitoring before incidents occur. No current fleet safety crisis exists, but proactive visibility and evidence-capture capabilities are absent, leaving operational and liability gaps unaddressed.
The opportunity
The ATTAIN grant deadline of August 2026 provides a defined funding window for advanced transportation technology, and MNAA's active FY27 capital cycle creates a natural procurement entry point. Acting now enables proactive safety infrastructure investment aligned with available grant funding and cooperative procurement pathways.
