Aging Fleet Replacement with Vehicle Safety Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Authority operates an aging fleet with no documented vehicle safety telematics or dash cameras, creating single large-loss vulnerability and measurable safety gaps for personnel and the public. A voter-approved capital millage on the August 2026 ballot is specifically designed to fund fleet vehicle replacement and critical safety equipment.
The opportunity
The August 2026 ballot creates a defined, 90-day decision window to position fleet telematics as part of a dedicated, multi-year funding stream — with no incumbent vendor in place. Acting now ensures readiness to procure through established cooperative purchasing pathways if the millage is approved.

Emergency Management · Federal Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Authority faces moderate preparedness gaps, including no publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan, absence of HSEEP-style exercises, and unverified mass notification performance during a recent flooding event. NIMS compliance is required to access federal preparedness funding, and these gaps elevate both operational and eligibility risk.
The opportunity
Two federal grant programs with July 2026 deadlines provide a direct, well-funded path to address preparedness gaps — but NIMS compliance is a prerequisite for eligibility. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the Authority to secure funding, reduce response risk, and meet compliance requirements before the window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Authority's public-facing websites must meet ADA and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, with a defined 2026–2027 compliance deadline. Unaddressed gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable digital access for residents and community members.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 deadline establishes a clear planning window to remediate accessibility gaps before enforcement risk escalates. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the Authority to align remediation costs with budget planning and reduce long-term legal liability.
Strengthen Cybersecurity and Identity Controls Post-Audit
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A 2024 audit identified internal control gaps that expose the Authority to procurement and operational risk, with no specific IT security tooling currently in place. Foundational measures — including credential and identity management — are needed to address compliance findings and reduce ongoing vulnerability.
The opportunity
Audit findings provide a compliance-driven justification for near-term cybersecurity investment, and a leadership transition with new committees forming creates an actionable window for security initiatives. Addressing these gaps now supports operational continuity, aligns with internal control requirements, and positions the Authority for responsible stewardship of public funds.
