Emergency Operations Plan Review & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is approaching its mandatory 4-year review deadline of July 2026, with NIMS compliance requirements due July 2025 and a new After-Action Review Policy now in effect. Emergency management is currently outsourced to the county, creating coordination gaps and elevating preparedness and communications resiliency risk.
The opportunity
Non-deferrable compliance deadlines in 2025 and 2026, combined with a confirmed $473,007 annual budget for emergency management and public safety technology, create a clear and immediate funding pathway. The FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program further supports eligible investments in communications, preparedness, and emergency systems ahead of the fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented non-emergency phone outage has exposed a critical communications resiliency gap, creating both operational risk and compliance exposure tied to NIMS standards and an EOP review cycle due by July 2026. Without remediation, the department risks failed coordination during emergencies and non-compliance with active federal preparedness mandates.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly lists emergency communication systems as eligible expenditures, offering a direct funding path with limited local match burden. Acting now aligns with concurrent NIMS and EOP compliance deadlines, reduces operational risk, and positions the department to meet public safety obligations before the grant window closes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Management System Modernization
Fleet Operations · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department manages a fleet of 263+ vehicles under a legacy system, with insurance costs running at over 231% of the annual budget and at least one documented fleet accident. These conditions signal compounding financial and safety risk that demands immediate operational attention.
The opportunity
FY 2026 grant funding references eligibility for relevant IT and safety equipment, and cooperative purchasing is confirmed, reducing procurement complexity. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses escalating insurance exposure and strengthens fleet safety and accountability outcomes.

Discuss this project →IT Contract Renewal and Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Multiple IT contracts—including drone traffic management, GIS tools, and a content management system—are expiring within 18 months, creating simultaneous procurement pressure. No current endpoint management solution is publicly documented, leaving a critical operational and security gap during an active refresh cycle.
The opportunity
The FY2027 proposed budget reflects a 5.9% increase, and the FY2026 Homeland Security Grant Program explicitly covers IT and cybersecurity equipment, providing a clear funding pathway. Acting within the current procurement window allows the entity to consolidate renewals, close endpoint visibility gaps, and align spending with available grant dollars.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Credential Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Cybersecurity compliance gaps have been identified for specific devices, and no established solution exists for password or credential management, leaving access controls unaddressed. Ongoing IT modernization and endpoint management activity further elevates the risk of unsecured credentials across the organization.
The opportunity
FY 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program funding explicitly covers IT and cybersecurity equipment, offering a viable funding pathway with near-term availability. Multiple IT contracts expiring within 18 months and a proposed FY2027 budget increase create a timely window for evaluation and procurement.
