Emergency Operations & Hazard Mitigation Plan Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces recurring compliance mandates for EOP review and Hazard Mitigation Plan updates, while recent Government Center flooding has exposed critical resource shortfalls and emergency response gaps. With an elevated preparedness gap score and unclear EOP status, operational and public safety risks remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July/August 2026 (HSGP and related programs) create immediate fiscal urgency, and existing budget allocations strongly favor emergency management investment. Acting now aligns with the current grant window, supports EOC implementation goals, and reduces compliance and response risk for residents and staff.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A confirmed national outage with the county's current mass notification provider has exposed critical reliability gaps, leaving staff and residents vulnerable during emergencies. With active EOP and Hazard Mitigation Plan compliance mandates and recent flooding incidents underscoring local resource shortfalls, uninterrupted public alerting is an operational necessity.
The opportunity
HSGP grant funding with a July/August 2026 deadline creates a near-term window to modernize mass notification with limited local match required. Acting now addresses vendor reliability risk, strengthens emergency preparedness compliance, and ensures continuity of public safety communications ahead of the next incident.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks documented fleet incident records and has no confirmed telematics or dashcam infrastructure, creating evidentiary and liability gaps. Recent fleet expansions and a state zero-emission directive signal growing operational complexity that current oversight tools are not equipped to manage.
The opportunity
Voter-approved Sheriff and EMS equipment ballots, a $50,000 ambulance equipment budget increase, and JAG grant eligibility with 2026 deadlines create a rare, near-term funding alignment. Acting within this fiscal window enables proactive risk reduction, driver accountability, and compliance with emerging state fleet mandates.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website requires remediation to meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal compliance exposure and limiting equitable access to digital services for residents with disabilities. Unaddressed gaps risk civil rights complaints and erode public trust in service delivery.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 compliance is a non-discretionary legal mandate, making this a defined, time-sensitive remediation priority already identified in county strategic planning. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, improves equitable service access, and may align with state digital equity funding pathways.
Public Safety & EMS Equipment Procurement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has secured dedicated funding through approved Sheriff and EMS equipment ballots, including a $50,000 ambulance equipment increase and an active EMS millage proposal. These commitments signal urgent procurement readiness, with operational gaps in emergency services infrastructure requiring immediate action.
The opportunity
Ballot-approved funding and an active millage proposal create a defined, near-term procurement window aligned with the county's emergency management strategic priorities and fiscal planning cycle. Acting within this window ensures public safety resources are deployed efficiently and expenditures remain accountable to voters.
