Modernize Emergency Management & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent wildfires have exposed critical gaps in the county's Emergency Operations Plan and mass notification capabilities, leaving residents and responders at risk. The incumbent notification system has been flagged for replacement, and coordination deficiencies elevate both operational and compliance risk for emergency preparedness mandates.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes over $1 million in dedicated EMS and ambulance grant funding, with the PROTECT grant offering an additional path for emergency management and mass notification. Acting within this fiscal cycle maximizes available funding and directly addresses life-safety gaps exposed by recent wildfire events.

About this project
The County Clerk's office faces an immediate gap after a failed system implementation, leaving public records access and digital accessibility workflows without a compliant solution. This creates both operational disruption and ADA/accessibility compliance exposure ahead of a planned FY 2026-27 system upgrade.
The opportunity
The FY 2026-27 budget already includes increased allocations for website and digital services, creating a funded, time-aligned procurement window. Acting now replaces a failed implementation, restores public access to records, and positions the county to meet accessibility mandates before the next fiscal cycle closes.

High Priority
About this project
The county operates under a Cyber Liability insurance mandate while carrying an active annual IT and software spend of $195,000, signaling a compliance-driven environment with real security obligations. Without modernized infrastructure and security tooling, the county faces elevated exposure to cyber incidents, audit findings, and potential coverage gaps.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes explicit increases for IT services and hardware, creating a near-term, funded procurement window aligned with compliance requirements. Acting within this cycle allows the county to reduce cyber risk, satisfy insurance mandates, and maximize already-appropriated public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented high-speed pursuit incident and rising sheriff's vehicle insurance premiums have elevated fleet safety as both an operational and financial liability. Increased vehicle expense allocations signal active pressure to address risk before costs and incidents escalate further.
The opportunity
Federal transportation safety grant funding offers a viable path to offset implementation costs, and cooperative procurement contracts provide a streamlined, compliant acquisition route. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to reduce insurance exposure and strengthen public safety outcomes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's cyber liability insurance requirements signal unresolved gaps in credential and identity management, increasing exposure to breach risk. Without adequate access controls, county systems and resident data remain vulnerable as IT infrastructure investments expand in FY 2026-27.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026-27 budget includes increased allocations for IT services and hardware, creating a funded procurement window aligned with cyber liability compliance mandates. Acting now reduces regulatory and operational risk while maximizing available budget before the fiscal cycle closes.
