EOP Modernization and 911 System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Washington County's Emergency Operations Plan is 30 years old and critically overdue, creating significant compliance and operational risk. A previously contracted 911 software agreement was terminated before implementation, leaving an unresolved gap in emergency communications and compounding longstanding notification system deficiencies.
The opportunity
A confirmed EMPG grant award provides an identified funding path, and the active FY27 budget cycle creates a defined window for action. Addressing both the overdue EOP mandate and the 911 system gap now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens emergency response outcomes for residents and first responders.
Credential & Password Management Compliance Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A stalled password management implementation has left a direct gap against active Texas state cybersecurity and credential management compliance mandates, while cybersecurity insurance requirements add further pressure. Identity management tooling is partially in place, but the specific credential management need remains unresolved and exposes the county to audit and coverage risk.
The opportunity
Active state mandates and cybersecurity insurance requirements create immediate urgency to close this gap within the current FY27 budget cycle. BJA grant funding conditionally supports cybersecurity solutions, and Texas cooperative purchasing contracts may streamline procurement, reducing time-to-compliance and protecting public systems and data.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county must achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance on public-facing digital portals by April 26, 2028, per federal ADA mandate. While partial groundwork exists, the compliance gap remains open, exposing the county to legal risk and limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The active FY27 budget cycle creates a near-term window to fund and scope this initiative ahead of the statutory deadline. Addressing the gap now allows sufficient time for remediation, reduces legal exposure, and ensures all residents can equitably access county digital services.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple county vehicles are out of service due to accidents and lightning strikes, while vehicle insurance costs are rising approximately 25% year-over-year. Without a fleet telematics or GPS safety monitoring system, the county lacks the visibility needed to reduce liability, control costs, and protect personnel and assets.
The opportunity
The Sheriff's proposed FY27 budget includes a dedicated increase in the fleet-management line, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in use, streamlining procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces insurance exposure, improves vehicle uptime, and strengthens stewardship of public safety resources.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure & Endpoint Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county has active IT and cybersecurity modernization initiatives underway, with nearly $2 million in annual IT and software spend, yet endpoint and device management gaps persist. Active Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates and cybersecurity insurance requirements elevate operational and security risk across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
An in-flight procurement cycle with existing budget capacity and BJA grant alignment creates a near-term window to advance endpoint modernization. Cooperative purchasing through confirmed state contracts streamlines execution, reducing procurement burden while strengthening security posture and operational resilience ahead of the active FY27 budget cycle.
