New 9-1-1 Communications Center Construction & Technology Buildout
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A new 9-1-1 Communications Center is under active construction (April 2026–January 2027), creating a fixed procurement window for communications, IT, and mass-notification systems. Approved capital funding (~$271K) and a dedicated E-911 Surcharge fund (~$7.7M) support the buildout, while identified emergency preparedness gaps elevate operational risk.
The opportunity
The construction timeline sets a hard deadline for technology decisions, and the Homeland Security Grant Program (deadline July 2026) offers a direct funding path for eligible equipment and emergency-communications infrastructure. Acting within this window ensures systems are procured, integrated, and operational before the center goes live.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The EOC and 9-1-1 command center infrastructure upgrades are approved, high-priority initiatives within the FY2026 capital program, coinciding with active construction of a new communications center. Identified emergency preparedness gaps—including unclear EOP status and mass notification coverage limitations—elevate operational and public safety risk during this transition window.
The opportunity
The new 9-1-1 Communications Center construction timeline (April 2026–January 2027) creates a fixed, near-term procurement window for communications and emergency management technology. Homeland Security Grant Program funding is available with a July 2026 deadline, and FY2026 capital budgets are already approved—making this an ideal moment to advance modernization, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification environment is fragmented across siloed tools, creating coverage gaps and potential enrollment deficiencies that leave residents underserved during emergencies. An emergency preparedness score of 2 signals significant operational risk, compounded by an active 9-1-1 Communications Center construction project requiring integrated, scalable alerting infrastructure.
The opportunity
A July 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program deadline provides a direct, time-sensitive funding path for communications and mass notification infrastructure with strong alignment to approved capital priorities. Acting within this fiscal window enables the county to consolidate fragmented systems, close preparedness gaps, and strengthen community-wide emergency response outcomes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's emergency preparedness score reflects critical gaps, including an EOP of unclear currency and no publicly available after-action reports from recent severe weather events. Recent emergency declarations underscore the operational and compliance risk of maintaining an outdated, unvalidated emergency operations framework.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program funding with a July 2026 deadline provides a time-sensitive, low-local-match path to close documented preparedness gaps. Acting now aligns with the county's active 9-1-1 Communications Center construction window and supports continuity of public safety operations during a period of infrastructure transition.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has adopted a WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility policy with a hard compliance deadline of February 17, 2026, requiring a full audit and remediation of public-facing digital portals. Failure to meet this mandate exposes the county to legal liability, reputational harm, and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The February 2026 deadline makes this the most time-sensitive compliance initiative in the current planning cycle, with procurement action needed now to allow for audit, remediation, and validation. Addressing this gap protects residents' equitable access to government services and reduces the county's legal and regulatory exposure.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An adopted Data Classification Policy mandates encryption and MFA, yet no enterprise credential management solution or remote monitoring and management tool has been identified. These gaps expose the county to elevated risk of unauthorized access, policy non-compliance, and compromised endpoint visibility.
The opportunity
Active MFA and data classification mandates create a clear, time-sensitive compliance driver, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing these gaps now reduces breach exposure, supports audit readiness, and strengthens the county's overall security posture.
