Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated mass notification system, and HSEEP-style exercise records — gaps made tangible by a recent hostage situation. A Drought Contingency Plan mandate and leadership transitions further elevate operational and compliance risk for staff and the public.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget includes a Fire Chief funding request for emergency management, with over $219,000 already allocated to public safety tech — signaling readiness to act. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with the current budget cycle and supports pursuit of available state and federal emergency management funding.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility compliance by April 2028. With a self-maintained website and limited accessibility infrastructure, non-compliance exposes the organization to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to essential services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a defined, time-sensitive procurement window aligned with active FY2027 technology budget growth. Acting now allows the entity to remediate gaps methodically, reduce legal and reputational risk, and ensure all residents have equitable digital access to public services.

Fleet Management · Public Works & Utilities
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a growing utility fleet with a substantial vehicle budget but has no telematics or fleet management solution in place, leaving identified safety control gaps unaddressed. A newly approved Fleet Manager position signals organizational readiness, but without visibility tools, operational risk and liability exposure remain elevated.
The opportunity
The new Fleet Manager role creates an immediate adoption window, and the USDA Community Facilities grant—with a rolling deadline—offers a viable funding path requiring no lengthy application cycle. Acting within the current fiscal period aligns investment with rising fleet expenses and positions the district to proactively manage safety, accountability, and stewardship of public assets.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a recurring mandate for annual Texas cybersecurity training alongside identified gaps in enterprise password and credential management. These vulnerabilities represent measurable regulatory and operational risk, directly undermining an active IT and Cybersecurity Modernization strategic initiative.
The opportunity
FY2027 general technology budget growth improves funding availability, and the EPA Drinking Water System Resilience grant has been identified as a potential future funding path. Addressing credential security now reduces compliance exposure and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Utility Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an active Stage 2 drought response and an outstanding regulatory mandate to update its Drought Contingency Plan, with documented gaps in emergency preparedness and no comprehensive operational plan in place. These conditions elevate operational, environmental, and compliance risk across water infrastructure and utility services.
The opportunity
Regulatory deadlines and an active drought response create immediate urgency, while the Fire Chief's emergency management funding request and the district's Operational Efficiency initiative signal leadership alignment. EPA Drinking Water System Resilience funding may offer a viable path to offset costs within the current planning cycle.
