Emergency Operations Plan Modernization and Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is four years old and overdue for review, with recent declared emergencies exposing active preparedness gaps. A fragmented mass notification ecosystem and a pending annual SARA Title III/LEPC compliance update elevate both operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
An approved EMPG grant and near-term federal funding deadlines in July 2026 create a defined window to act. Incoming emergency management leadership and active FY2027 budget planning make this an ideal moment to consolidate systems, close compliance gaps, and strengthen community-wide response readiness.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety and Asset Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent Sheriff's cruiser accident has drawn media attention and triggered active review of the county's Risk Management Policy, with a Fleet Management MOU now on Board agendas. Gaps in vehicle lifecycle planning and asset tracking create ongoing operational and liability risk for the county.
The opportunity
Confirmed federal funding for Sheriff's Office vehicles and equipment, combined with JAG and COPS TEP grant deadlines in July 2026, creates a near-term window to act. Cooperative purchasing agreements provide a streamlined procurement path, reducing administrative burden and accelerating delivery of safer, more accountable fleet operations.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility WCAG 2.1 Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline in April 2026, creating legal exposure and public access risk for residents relying on digital services. No formal internal initiative is currently underway, leaving the compliance gap unaddressed with limited time remaining in the procurement window.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline defines a clear and near-term procurement window, and the FY26 Homeland Security Grant Program has been identified as a potential funding pathway for accessibility initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk, ensures equitable public access, and aligns remediation efforts with available grant resources.

Discuss this project →IT Asset Lifecycle and Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified advancement of asset-tracking and lifecycle management systems as a strategic IT priority, alongside an active evaluation of IT service management tools. Gaps in unified endpoint visibility and lifecycle oversight create operational risk and inefficiency across a complex, multi-tool IT environment.
The opportunity
With FY2027 budget planning underway and an active procurement environment signaled by a recently closed IT Service Management RFP, timing is favorable to address lifecycle and endpoint management gaps. Eligible federal grant programs and cooperative purchasing agreements may reduce local cost burden and accelerate procurement.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Privileged Access and Password Security Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's current password security posture relies on a vaulting system and MDM, yet account recovery and privileged access management remain identified concerns. An adjacent tool used for advanced password protection may not fully address dedicated credential management needs, leaving a potential capability gap across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
Active grant programs—including JAG, COPS TEP, and HSGP—explicitly support cybersecurity investments and carry near-term deadlines, aligning with the county's current FY planning cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces operational and compliance risk during a period of transitional leadership and active procurement.

Discuss this project →IT Alignment During CMH-to-Authority Transition
IT Modernization · Organizational Transition
High Priority
About this project
A structural shift from CMH to Authority status demands IT realignment across systems, teams, and workflows. Compounding this, multiple senior leadership roles have turned over within 18 months, creating gaps in institutional knowledge and increasing the risk of misaligned or duplicative technology investments during a critical transition period.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget planning is actively underway, creating a near-term window to shape procurement decisions before cycles close. Addressing IT alignment now reduces operational risk, supports incoming leadership with coherent systems, and positions the organization to leverage available state and federal funding streams.
