Emergency Operations Center Modernization and Resilience Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has prioritized upgrading its Emergency Operations Center by late 2026, driven by documented preparedness gaps including an outdated EOP, a recent mass-notification system breach, and communication failures during a 2016 wildfire. These unresolved vulnerabilities elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Returned unspent public safety funds signal available fiscal capacity that could be directed toward this high-priority initiative ahead of the 2026 deadline. Acting within the current planning cycle supports NIMS compliance, strengthens community resilience, and positions the county to pursue state emergency management funding as it becomes available.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A December 2025 data breach forced an emergency migration of the county's mass notification platform, exposing long-standing gaps in public alerting reliability—gaps that contributed to communication failures during a 2016 wildfire. The current split ecosystem creates ongoing integration risk and leaves residents vulnerable during future emergencies.
The opportunity
The post-breach environment creates a clear leadership mandate to consolidate and harden public alerting infrastructure before the next emergency. With an EOC upgrade underway and fiscal capacity confirmed, the upcoming budget cycle is the right moment to address integration gaps and strengthen community-wide resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county faces an active compliance mandate under ADA Title II and WCAG standards, with conformance not yet established across public-facing digital properties. An in-progress EMA website launch amplifies exposure, as unresolved accessibility gaps create legal, reputational, and equity risk for residents who depend on digital services.
The opportunity
The convergence of a live compliance mandate and an active website launch creates a defined, near-term window to remediate risk before public deployment. Addressing conformance now reduces legal liability, supports equitable public access, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.
Fleet Safety Technology Modernization for Sheriff's Office
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
A documented cruiser collision in October 2025 has elevated fleet safety as an operational and liability risk for the Sheriff's Office. The absence of in-vehicle cameras and telematics leaves the agency without critical data to support incident review, driver accountability, and risk mitigation.
The opportunity
The recent collision provides a concrete, leadership-level trigger for fleet safety investment during an active technology modernization cycle. The Sheriff's Office returned over $1M in unspent funds last fiscal year, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may support an accelerated, compliant procurement path.

IT Modernization · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Office is managing a fragmented technology environment with disparate public safety applications and specialized systems, creating significant administrative overhead and integration gaps. An active modernization initiative is underway, but the split ecosystem increases operational risk and limits visibility across critical public safety functions.
The opportunity
The department returned $1.14 million in unspent funds, signaling potential reallocation capacity in the upcoming budget cycle for strategic technology investments. Consolidating fragmented systems now reduces management overhead, strengthens operational continuity, and positions the department to align spending with public safety mission priorities.
