Firewall & Network Security Infrastructure Replacement
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's firewall infrastructure has reached end-of-life, creating measurable cybersecurity exposure across county networks and public-facing systems. A completed penetration test has surfaced active vulnerabilities, reinforcing the urgency of replacement alongside broader EOL infrastructure across storage, virtualization, and communications systems.
The opportunity
With $195k explicitly approved in the FY2027 budget and a penetration test already completed, the county is positioned to act within the current planning cycle. Addressing this now reduces breach risk, supports IT compliance posture, and ensures continuity of services residents and staff depend on daily.
County-Wide IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint & Infrastructure Refresh
High Priority
About this project
Multiple core IT infrastructure components — including VM hosts, switches, NAS, SAN, phone systems, cameras, WAPs, and laptops — are at or near end-of-life, creating compounding operational and cybersecurity risk. This systemic refresh need spans endpoint and infrastructure layers, elevating exposure to service disruption and compliance gaps across county operations.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget allocations are approved across these infrastructure categories, creating a defined and time-bound procurement window. Acting within this cycle ensures alignment with funded intent, reduces EOL risk, and supports continuity of critical county services.
Digital Evidence Management System Modernization
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county is transitioning away from legacy or manual evidence handling processes, which carry significant compliance and chain-of-custody risks for public safety operations. A funded initiative is in place to address these gaps, reflecting urgency around accountability, records integrity, and operational continuity.
The opportunity
With $125k specifically budgeted in FY2027 and active procurement planning underway, this project is positioned for near-term execution. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement, reduce administrative burden, and ensure responsible stewardship of public safety funds.
Fleet Vehicle Replacement & Safety Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has sustained multiple fleet-involved accidents and exceeded budgeted insurance deductible costs, signaling unresolved fleet safety deficiencies. Over $800K is proposed in FY2027 for vehicle replacements across multiple asset types, reflecting both capital refresh urgency and documented safety risk.
The opportunity
With a large, approved replacement budget entering the FY2027 cycle and documented safety incidents on record, the county has clear justification to pair capital procurement with fleet monitoring and management capabilities. Acting now aligns with budget availability, reduces insurance liability exposure, and supports existing GIS infrastructure investments.
Emergency Management Modernization & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including potential absence of Emergency Action Plans for dams, ESC funding instability, and an ambulance services contract disruption following a municipal withdrawal. Leadership transitions on the ESC board and unresolved operational gaps elevate risk to public safety and continuity of emergency services.
The opportunity
Federal emergency management and Cities Readiness Initiative grants are already in hand, providing immediate, dedicated funding for preparedness investment. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to close compliance gaps, stabilize emergency operations, and strengthen community-wide response capacity.

Digital Accessibility · Public Library Services
High Priority
About this project
The county library's strategic plan identifies website accessibility improvements as a priority, reflecting growing awareness of ADA and WCAG digital compliance obligations. Without a formal remediation plan, the library risks excluding residents with disabilities from essential public services and digital resources.
The opportunity
With accessibility improvements already embedded in the library's strategic plan, the upcoming fiscal cycle presents a natural window to formalize scope and align procurement through existing cooperative purchasing memberships. Proactive investment supports equitable public access and reduces long-term compliance exposure.
