Emergency Operations Plan Review & Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's EOP is 4.5 years old and overdue for review, with a compliance deadline of February 2027, while a concurrent mass notification system transition and an unaddressed EF-1 tornado event compound preparedness and compliance risk. These overlapping gaps leave the jurisdiction without a current, validated operational framework during an active period of disaster exposure.
The opportunity
A dedicated emergency management budget increase, a pending $438k grant, and an additional fire assistance program expected in October 2026 create a funded, time-sensitive window to close compliance and preparedness gaps before the 2027 deadline. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns investment with available funding and strengthens community resilience and operational continuity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively replacing its legacy mass notification system and faces elevated operational risk during the cutover period. A recent tornado event without a completed after-action report underscores the urgency of achieving full notification capability before the next incident.
The opportunity
This project is funded and designated a top strategic priority, reducing procurement barriers and enabling near-term action. Pending emergency management grants and a FY2027 budget increase for emergency management provide additional funding pathways to support integration and long-term operational readiness.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a hard DOJ ADA compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, requiring full WCAG conformance across web properties and PDF documents. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
With a confirmed budget increase of $47K already approved for a digital services platform and active internal procurement underway, the funding and leadership alignment are in place to act now. Addressing remediation before the April 2026 deadline eliminates legal risk and ensures residents receive accessible, compliant digital services.
Endpoint Security & IT Resilience During Staffing Transition
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Recent departures of two system administrators have left the IT department critically understaffed, increasing exposure across endpoint management, access control, and overall security posture. Active cybersecurity training mandates compound the risk, as reduced staffing limits the county's ability to monitor, respond to, and enforce security controls.
The opportunity
A $312K IT budget increase has been approved for the current fiscal cycle, providing immediate capacity to invest in solutions that bridge the staffing gap while recruitment proceeds. Acting now reduces operational and compliance risk and ensures continuity of critical county services during the transition period.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Tracking Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department has a documented history of unreliable equipment and currently lacks basic GPS tracking, maintenance monitoring, and dash camera coverage. This gap creates operational risk and limits accountability, with the need identified proactively before incidents or liability exposure occur.
The opportunity
The Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program, expected in October 2026, provides a viable funding path for fleet equipment and safety technology. Active fleet expansion through brush truck acquisition and vehicle leasing creates an ideal entry point to integrate tracking and safety systems from the outset.
