Mass Notification Modernization for Emergency Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is mid-transition from its legacy mass notification platform, with a new emergency management mobile app launched May 2026, while the recently rewritten EOP still awaits required signatures. EMPG grant compliance deadlines and active 911 and Emergency Ambulance millage renewals elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
FY26 HSGP and BRIC grant windows, alongside an active FEMA Major Disaster Declaration, create near-term federal funding pathways for emergency communications upgrades with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes compliance gaps, strengthens public alerting continuity, and aligns with the county's documented investment in notification infrastructure.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Public Safety Vehicle Safety
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent patrol vehicle total loss, a newly acquired patrol boat, and the absence of dash-cameras or telematics across the fleet expose the county to significant liability and safety gaps. Active vehicle leasing, repair expenditures, and ongoing fleet investment underscore the urgency of closing these operational blind spots.
The opportunity
The COPS Office FY26 Technology Equipment Program grant deadline of July 16, 2026 creates immediate urgency for law enforcement telematics investment. Cooperative purchasing pathways are already confirmed, enabling streamlined, compliant procurement within current budget cycles to reduce liability and strengthen officer and public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Posture and IT Governance Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A fraud incident traced to a malicious email link has exposed gaps in end-user security practices and a fragmented IT environment lacking centralized credential management. Strategic initiatives call for a comprehensive technology plan and secure computing environment, but multiple vendor relationships and absent enterprise security controls elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active leadership prioritization of IT governance and cybersecurity creates a timely opening to consolidate security controls and reduce exposure ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now supports audit readiness, protects public data, and aligns with state and federal funding pathways for cybersecurity improvements.
Emergency Operations Plan Activation & Hazard Mitigation
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The EOP was rewritten and activated April 16, 2026, but outstanding signatures leave the plan legally incomplete. EMPG grant eligibility, an active Hazard Mitigation Plan update, and upcoming 911 and Emergency Ambulance millage renewal deadlines compound compliance pressure.
The opportunity
EMPG program requirements directly tie funding eligibility to verified EOP readiness, making near-term resolution a budget-critical milestone. Aligning plan completion with the current grant cycle protects federal funding access and reduces operational and compliance risk ahead of millage renewal deadlines.
FY 2025 EMPG
Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing digital properties face persistent WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps, creating ongoing legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access to essential services. Without a structured compliance program, remediation remains reactive and risk remains unresolved.
The opportunity
Web accessibility compliance carries no expiration—delayed action compounds legal liability and widens the service gap for residents with disabilities. Addressing this within the current fiscal cycle supports equitable service delivery and may align with broader IT modernization funding already under consideration.
