Modernize Emergency Operations Plan and Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's Emergency Operations Plan is over 21 years old and critically overdue for update, creating significant regulatory risk under NIMS compliance mandates. Recent power outages have raised concerns about mass notification continuity, threatening the department's ability to alert and protect the public during emergencies.
The opportunity
A pending award under an active FY2026 warning system grant program, alongside 0% match Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance Grant opportunities, makes this an ideal time to act. Dedicated FY26 budget already allocated for emergency management technology further reduces barriers to advancing this high-priority initiative.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
ADA Title II mandates require all web and mobile content to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA by April 26, 2028, and a December 2024 inspection triggered an active 270-day correction period. Gaps span digital content and physical infrastructure, signaling a broad accessibility initiative with real compliance and equity risk.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved with a defined correction deadline, creating a clear, time-bound window for action. Addressing remediation now reduces legal and audit exposure, advances equitable public access, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle before correction timelines lapse.

Fleet Safety · Public Asset Management
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks fleet video and telematics capabilities despite operating emergency vehicles and high-value public assets. A prior major vehicle loss and a 9.2% insurance cost increase in FY2025 highlight growing financial and operational risk without proactive fleet oversight.
The opportunity
The FY2026 budget includes $200,000 in approved vehicle capital funding, rated the top strategic priority, with cooperative purchasing available to streamline procurement. Acting now reduces insurance exposure, strengthens asset accountability, and aligns with the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active grant applications for security and communications equipment upgrades signal recognized gaps in cybersecurity and IT posture. With an annual IT spend of $67,801 and ongoing software procurement, the organization faces operational risk without a hardened endpoint and credential security foundation.
The opportunity
Approved 0% local match FY27 Homeland Security and Justice Assistance Grants provide a rare, cost-neutral funding pathway for security and communications upgrades. Acting within the current grant window and FY26 budget cycle maximizes available resources while reducing exposure to cyber threats and compliance risk.
FY27 Homeland Security Grant
Discuss this project →Regional 9-1-1 & Emergency Communications Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Communications · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county-managed centralized dispatch system has identified gaps in communications capabilities, with active grant applications referencing equipment deficiencies. Participation in a regional 9-1-1 emergency communications district is a stated strategic priority, and NIMS compliance mandates require a current, comprehensive emergency management plan.
The opportunity
Approved applications for zero-match Homeland Security and Justice Assistance Grants create a near-term funding pathway for communications equipment with minimal local burden. Acting within the current grant cycle advances regional interoperability, closes documented capability gaps, and strengthens public safety outcomes across the service area.
