Emergency Operations Planning & Service Continuity
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly verifiable Emergency Operations Plan, faces active service-continuity gaps from a terminated county fire-protection contract, and has documented command-coordination concerns following a fatal incident. Compliance mandates under NIMS, Hunt County ESF 5, and a local Quinlan ordinance remain unmet, elevating operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
An ongoing regional fire-protection restructuring and leadership transition create an immediate window to establish structured coordination and planning before gaps widen further. This project aligns with the current FY planning cycle and may be eligible for state and federal emergency preparedness funding to offset local costs.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A severe fire apparatus crash totaled a vehicle, injured firefighters, and triggered public scrutiny and the termination of a county contract. The absence of driver monitoring, telematics, and preventive maintenance capabilities presents acute operational and reputational risk to the department and the community it serves.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes an approved "Fleet Management and Light Equipment Improvement" line, signaling active planning and available funding. Cooperative procurement pathways may reduce administrative burden and accelerate timelines, enabling the department to address safety gaps and restore public confidence within the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The City of Quinlan's FY 2026–2027 budget includes approved funding to replace police department computers and migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft, reflecting identified gaps in endpoint management and digital infrastructure. A proposed annexation may expand the scope of technology needs across city operations, increasing urgency for a scalable, manageable environment.
The opportunity
Budget allocations for IT Tech Support and Security & Technology are already approved, with total annual IT spend near the informal procurement threshold—enabling faster, streamlined acquisition this fiscal year. A relevant grant program with an October 2026 deadline lists computer systems as an allowable expense, offering a potential funding pathway to offset costs.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization lacks a dedicated password management solution despite an active cybersecurity investment, creating credential and access security gaps across a split digital ecosystem. An ongoing email platform migration heightens exposure, making unmanaged credentials an immediate operational and security risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 approved budget includes increased Security & Technology funding, and deals structured under $100,000 can be executed without formal bid requirements, reducing procurement lead time. Addressing credential security now aligns with active IT modernization efforts and responsible stewardship of public technology funds.
