Emergency Communications Consolidation & Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates fragmented emergency notification platforms requiring separate resident registrations, has no current Emergency Operations Plan on record, and lacks a county-specific EMPG subaward — all while NIMS adoption remains mandated. These gaps create measurable compliance exposure and operational risk during active emergencies.
The opportunity
Emergency Management Capitalized Equipment is a board-approved FY2026 strategic priority with dedicated funding, and the FY2026 Rural Law Enforcement Grant provides additional near-term resources. Acting now closes critical compliance gaps, unifies fragmented systems, and strengthens coordinated emergency response for residents and first responders.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Security Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's required cybersecurity training certification was due August 31, 2026, with no evidence of completion, and no credential management solution is in place. These gaps constitute active compliance failures under Texas cybersecurity mandates, exposing the county to meaningful organizational and operational risk.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant—deadline October 9, 2026—explicitly covers IT management and cybersecurity technology, offering a time-sensitive funding path. With FY2027 Data Processing budgets increasing and $1.35M in annual IT spend, the county has both urgency and capacity to close these compliance gaps now.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has no remediation plan in place to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance requirement, mandated by April 26, 2028, creating legal exposure and inequitable public access across digital properties. Courts and public-facing portals may carry additional document accessibility obligations that compound this risk.
The opportunity
Beginning remediation now avoids costly last-minute compliance efforts and aligns with the county's active FY2027 IT budget growth and Data Processing investment cycle. Early action reduces legal liability, improves equitable service delivery, and positions the county to leverage cooperative purchasing agreements already in use.
Sheriff's Fleet Safety Technology Gap Assessment
Public Safety · Fleet & Vehicle Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's fleet currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating evidentiary gaps and liability exposure during pursuits and incidents. While body cameras are in use, the absence of vehicle-based safety technology limits incident documentation and driver accountability for the department.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget increases for Sheriff's Department vehicle maintenance and contract services signal growing investment in fleet operations, creating a natural planning window. Cooperative procurement pathways are already established, reducing procurement lead time if prioritization advances.
