Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Smith County Justice Court faces a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, covering its public-facing website and documents. Current accessibility tools are fragmented across multiple platforms, leaving document remediation workflows unresolved and exposing the Court to federal compliance risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing on September 15, 2026, opens an immediate funding window ahead of the April 2027 deadline, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are confirmed, simplifying procurement. Consolidating accessibility workflows now reduces compliance exposure, improves equitable public access, and aligns with the upcoming contract renewal decision point in May 2027.

About this project
Smith County has documented emergency preparedness gaps, including a countywide FEMA IPAWS alerting failure, an Emergency Operations Plan approaching its mandatory review window, and no Justice Court-specific continuity plan. Fragmented alerting platforms signal an integration gap that elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing on September 15, 2026 presents a near-term funding window, and existing public safety tech spend of $469,452 signals established budget capacity in this category. Addressing alerting reliability and EOP gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens continuity for residents and court operations ahead of the next review cycle.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical fleet risk with auto liability loss ratios of 258%, auto physical damage loss ratios of 208%, and two total-loss vehicle claims in 2025. No dash-camera or telematics solution is currently in place, leaving a significant gap in fleet visibility, driver accountability, and risk mitigation.
The opportunity
Fleet modernization is an active county strategic initiative, and the FY2027 budget hearing creates a near-term funding window to act. Confirmed cooperative purchasing memberships streamline procurement, while documented insurance cost escalation provides a clear financial case for investment this cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Data Security
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active strategic initiative to modernize IT infrastructure, strengthen data security, and improve disaster recovery capabilities. With a modest annual IT spend of $139,700 and no identified endpoint or credential management solutions in place, critical gaps in operational resilience and cyber risk management remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant explicitly supports information systems and technology improvements for criminal justice activities, offering a direct funding pathway. The FY2027 budget hearing on September 15, 2026, creates an immediate planning window to advance this initiative within the upcoming fiscal cycle.
