AWIA Compliance & Emergency Response Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Critical Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The district's Emergency Response Plan is outdated and unconfirmed, and a required AWIA Risk and Resilience Assessment remains incomplete — both carrying 2026 certification deadlines. A recent security incident involving critical infrastructure has elevated operational and compliance risk for the utility and the communities it serves.
The opportunity
Dedicated budget has been approved and resilience-focused grant funding is actively being pursued, creating a narrow window to act within the next 90 days. Completing the RRA and ERP now ensures regulatory compliance, strengthens infrastructure protection, and positions the district to maximize available federal mitigation funding.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district's current mass notification platform is unverified and lacks a confirmed, reliable alert solution, leaving staff and the public vulnerable during emergencies. With AWIA Emergency Response Plan certification deadlines approaching in 2026, unresolved preparedness gaps elevate both operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding is actively being pursued by the county, creating a near-term window to address notification gaps with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns modernization efforts with 2026 compliance deadlines and strengthens community resilience.
Critical Infrastructure Physical & Cybersecurity Program
Critical Infrastructure Security · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Following a documented security incident, gaps in both physical and cybersecurity protections for critical infrastructure have been identified, with existing tooling insufficient to fully address known vulnerabilities. A formal Physical and Cybersecurity program is now a named strategic initiative, signaling urgency to close operational and compliance gaps before risks escalate.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) is a relevant funding vehicle for cybersecurity improvements, and an annual IT spend exceeding $71M signals organizational capacity to act. Advancing this initiative now aligns with active budget cycles and reduces exposure from unresolved infrastructure vulnerabilities.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 2028 and currently has no plan in place to meet this mandate. Compliance is also required for any newly procured systems, expanding scope beyond the existing website and creating immediate planning obligations.
The opportunity
The requirement to apply WCAG 2.1 AA standards to new procurements creates near-term planning urgency, even ahead of the 2028 deadline. Acting now allows the district to embed accessibility requirements into active procurement cycles and align remediation efforts with the current fiscal planning window.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Program
Fleet Management · Public Liability & Risk
High Priority
About this project
The district has sustained fleet-involved accidents resulting in $14,000+ in repairs and faces active auto liability claims and settlement requests. Current safety technology is limited to select dash cameras, leaving significant gaps in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and risk mitigation.
The opportunity
Active liability exposure and an established budget alignment through the district's Electric Vehicles and Sustainable Fleet initiative create a timely entry point for comprehensive telematics. Addressing this now reduces insurance and legal risk while supporting responsible stewardship of public assets and operational continuity.
Agenda & Meeting Management System Procurement
IT Modernization · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active, in-flight procurement for an agenda and meeting management system, signaling an immediate purchasing decision cycle. New systems must meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, adding a compliance dimension to platform evaluation and selection.
The opportunity
With procurement already underway and an increased IT software and infrastructure budget, the timing aligns with the current decision cycle. Selecting a compliant, accessible platform now reduces future remediation risk and supports responsible stewardship of the district's technology investment.
