Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unidentified mass notification system, unclear Emergency Operations Plan status, and recent declared emergencies spanning public health, transportation, and severe weather incidents. These gaps elevate operational and compliance risk for residents and first responders alike.
The opportunity
Over $2.8M in Homeland Security Grant Program funding and grant reporting deadlines in early 2027 create strong near-term urgency, with the 2026 storm-season preparedness initiative further accelerating the timeline. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience, supports compliance, and maximizes available federal funding before the window closes.

Discuss this project →EMS Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent $159,000 lawsuit settlement involving an EMS vehicle highlights significant fleet liability exposure and the absence of documented fleet-specific safety technology. With active EMS vehicle replacements underway, the county faces mounting operational and financial risk without a structured telematics and safety monitoring program in place.
The opportunity
A $1.7M Surface Transportation Block Grant provides a direct, secured funding path for fleet safety and telematics investment. Acting within the current grant window—alongside ongoing fleet replacement activity—maximizes public fund stewardship, reduces future liability exposure, and strengthens EMS operational accountability.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a state-mandated cybersecurity and AI training compliance deadline of August 31, 2026, with significant consequences for non-compliance. Expiring IT contracts through October 2026 and an open IT leadership position compound operational risk and create an urgent re-procurement window.
The opportunity
The hard 2026 compliance deadline, combined with HSGP and EMPG funding eligibility, creates a time-sensitive window to address credential management and cybersecurity risk before fiscal and contractual deadlines converge. Acting now aligns with active grant cycles and reduces exposure from leadership transition gaps.

Discuss this project →IT Endpoint & Remote Management Contract Renewal
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Upcoming IT contract expirations by October 2026 create a defined re-procurement window for endpoint and remote management tooling. An open IT Assistant Director/CTO position and a recent voting system incident signal potential infrastructure gaps that elevate operational and continuity risk for county services.
The opportunity
The October 2026 contract deadline establishes a near-term, actionable procurement window aligned with current budget planning cycles. Acting now allows incoming leadership to shape the solution strategy while general IT spending and software renewal budgets remain available to support the transition.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 compliance across public-facing digital properties, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable access for residents. Unaddressed accessibility deficiencies elevate ADA-related liability risk and undermine public trust in digital services.
The opportunity
Remediating accessibility gaps can be staged by risk severity to align with existing IT budgets and the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now reduces legal and reputational risk while ensuring equitable digital access for all residents the county serves.
License Plate Recognition Infrastructure Deployment
Public Safety · Physical Security
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified license plate recognition camera deployment as a strategic priority for physical security modernization, integrated with broader emergency management and law enforcement coordination. Without this infrastructure, gaps in situational awareness and incident response capability persist across public-facing facilities and roadways.
The opportunity
Homeland Security grant funding currently available to the county can offset capital costs for this initiative, aligning with active emergency management investments already underway. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces local budget exposure and strengthens public safety outcomes ahead of the 2026 storm season and ongoing emergency preparedness planning.
