Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent deputy vehicle rollover with suspected alcohol involvement has exposed critical gaps in impaired operator detection, dashcam evidence capture, and driver coaching. Legacy fleet tracking systems are due for replacement, creating compliance, liability, and public trust risk for the county.
The opportunity
The COPS Office Technology and Equipment Program grant (deadline July 2026) is a direct funding match, and a $25M county operating surplus supports near-term action. Cooperative purchasing vehicles enable efficient procurement within a 90-day window, aligning with current fiscal planning.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2000, creating a critical preparedness compliance gap and leaving identified mass notification coverage areas unaddressed. This is an active compliance mandate and top urgency driver, with ongoing risk to public safety and operational readiness.
The opportunity
A $25M operating surplus and alignment with the Homeland Security Grant Program create strong, near-term funding pathways for EOP remediation. New leadership and active procurement activity signal organizational readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle, reducing compliance exposure and strengthening community-wide emergency response.

Discuss this project →Outdoor Warning System & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Midland County has an active RFP for an Outdoor Warning System (due 2026-01-29) and identified gaps in geographic warning coverage, while the City of Midland has CIP funding approved for siren upgrades planned for 2026. An existing mass notification platform presents an integration or displacement decision that must be resolved as part of procurement planning.
The opportunity
CIP funding is already allocated and the active RFP creates a firm procurement deadline, making this immediately actionable within the current fiscal cycle. Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding directly supports public warning capability expansion, reducing local cost burden while closing a critical preparedness gap.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
Active WCAG and ADA compliance gaps across the entity's digital presence create ongoing legal exposure and limit equitable access to public services for residents with disabilities. These gaps are identified as a top urgency driver, requiring continuous remediation across web properties.
The opportunity
A documented operating surplus supports budget availability for remediation efforts within the current fiscal cycle, reducing the risk of delayed action. Addressing accessibility gaps now strengthens legal standing, improves public service equity, and aligns with federal compliance mandates.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's IT environment shows gaps in endpoint management and credential security, elevating risk of unauthorized access and data exposure. Without consistent controls across devices and user accounts, operational continuity and public data protection remain vulnerable.
The opportunity
The Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) through the COPS Office offers a near-term funding path for eligible cybersecurity investments ahead of its 2026 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to close critical security gaps while leveraging cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →Emergency Generator & Critical Infrastructure Resilience
Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The City of Midland has secured a $600,000 EPA STAG grant designated for an emergency generator, confirming a funded capital project tied to emergency infrastructure resilience. This investment directly supports broader emergency preparedness goals and operational continuity during power disruptions or disaster events.
The opportunity
With grant funding already confirmed, this project is positioned for near-term execution within the current budget cycle, reducing procurement delays and fiscal uncertainty. Advancing now ensures alignment with emergency management improvement initiatives and strengthens facility resilience for staff and the communities served.
