Cybersecurity Services Procurement and Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The authority has an active RFP for comprehensive cybersecurity services driven by compliance mandates and identified security gaps within a modernizing IT environment that includes cloud productivity tools and contracted service providers. An ongoing payment-processing system upgrade further elevates the need for robust credential and vulnerability management to protect public infrastructure and resident data.
The opportunity
A hard RFP deadline of June 4, 2026, combined with a supportive state FY27 fiscal environment and cooperative procurement memberships, creates a clear and time-sensitive path to action. Secondary cybersecurity preparedness grant funding may further reduce local cost burden while strengthening compliance posture and operational resilience.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority's Emergency Operations Plan is approximately six years old, lacks a named emergency management coordinator, and has not been updated to reflect current NIMS compliance requirements. Recent severe flooding and a declared state of emergency have exposed critical preparedness gaps, elevating operational and regulatory risk for staff and the communities served.
The opportunity
Recent flooding incidents and new board leadership elected in January 2025 create a timely opening to advance preparedness investment. FEMA mitigation and homeland preparedness grants offer strong funding pathways with limited local match, aligning well with the current fiscal environment and sustained state revenue sharing for local governments.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The authority lacks a documented mass notification capability, while the county relies on a third-party alerting system with unclear integration at the authority level. Combined with significant emergency preparedness gaps—including an outdated EOP and recent severe flooding—staff and residents face elevated risk during incidents.
The opportunity
FEMA mitigation and homeland preparedness grant programs offer viable funding paths for mass notification and emergency management improvements, with sustained state revenue sharing supporting local budget flexibility. Addressing this gap now aligns with EOP modernization efforts and reduces operational and life-safety risk ahead of the next incident.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The authority is modernizing marina infrastructure—deploying high-speed internet, security cameras, and cybersecurity controls—while also upgrading payment-processing systems. An active cybersecurity RFP signals compliance mandates and operational risk that must be addressed to protect public assets and sensitive data.
The opportunity
A current cybersecurity RFP deadline and a supportive state revenue-sharing environment create a defined window to act. Cooperative purchasing memberships streamline procurement, and grant pathways exist to offset costs—making this an ideal moment to advance modernization and reduce compliance exposure.
