Countywide Radio Communications Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's existing radio system is obsolete and has been inoperable for days at a time, creating critical gaps in emergency communications for first responders and residents. This is a documented top strategic priority, with operational risk elevated by an unconfirmed EOP status and active emergency management compliance mandates.
The opportunity
Budget is already approved for this upgrade, and potential grant funding for emergency infrastructure signals strong county investment readiness within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now closes a well-documented life-safety gap and positions the county to meet emergency management compliance requirements before the next incident.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's EOP update status is unconfirmed, and operational assurance gaps in the current alerting system leave residents and responders without reliable emergency communications. Active emergency management mandates add compliance pressure, elevating risk to public safety and continuity of operations.
The opportunity
Emergency management mandates are active, grant funding for preparedness initiatives is available in the current cycle, and the county's fragmented alerting environment creates an immediate consolidation opportunity. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with near-term budget and procurement planning.

Cybersecurity Compliance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Active Texas state mandates require county agencies to maintain cybersecurity training and controlled access to information resources. A fragmented technology ecosystem across public safety, web, and email services compounds credential and access management risk, increasing exposure to unauthorized access and audit findings.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly supports cybersecurity and IT improvement projects, providing a defined federal funding pathway aligned with the current grant cycle. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces audit and operational risk while leveraging confirmed IT budget capacity and cooperative procurement vehicles already in use.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county manages software and hardware across a fragmented, multi-vendor environment, creating visibility gaps and maintenance risk. An upcoming TEA DVA audit is expected to surface technology deficiencies, while active Texas cybersecurity mandates add compliance urgency for information resource access and training.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program explicitly covers IT equipment and technology improvements, offering a viable funding path ahead of the audit. Consolidating endpoint management now reduces operational risk, supports compliance, and aligns with the county's current grant-seeking posture.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Vehicle Tracking Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Auto and general liability insurance premiums have surged 78% and 179% respectively, signaling escalating fleet-related risk and financial strain on county operations. An aging fleet solution and active vehicle acquisitions—including fire tankers and buses—underscore the need for modern tracking and safety oversight.
The opportunity
Rising insurance costs create a compelling ROI case for fleet safety investment, and grant programs tied to law enforcement and public safety may offer eligible funding pathways. Aligning this initiative with the current fiscal cycle and active vehicle procurement supports both cost control and operational accountability.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county must bring all public-facing web portals and digital documents into ADA Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by 2028. A fragmented, multi-vendor website environment increases the complexity of achieving uniform accessibility standards, raising both legal and equity risk.
The opportunity
The 2028 mandate creates a defined window for phased planning and procurement, making early action fiscally strategic and operationally sound. Addressing compliance proactively avoids emergency remediation costs, supports equitable public access, and aligns with upcoming budget cycles.
