EOP Review & NIMS Compliance Modernization
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps in EOP currency and is subject to active compliance mandates requiring EOP review and NIMS adoption. A recent leadership transition creates a timely opening to re-evaluate emergency management frameworks and address readiness risks before they escalate.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget allocations include increased funding for the Emergency Management Coordinator, and relevant grant opportunities exist for rural public safety preparedness initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns resources with compliance deadlines and strengthens community-level emergency response capacity.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department is mid-transition on its mass notification platform, creating immediate integration gaps with the Emergency Operations Center and exposing residents to potential alert delays. EOC relocation costs, weather radio coverage gaps, and overdue EOP review compound operational and compliance risk under NIMS mandates.
The opportunity
FY 2027 capital project funding and increased Emergency Management Coordinator budget are already allocated, making this an active, funded initiative. State and federal grant programs aligned with rural public safety and emergency preparedness offer additional cost offsets, reducing local match burden while advancing mission-critical readiness.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county recently closed a formal RFP for outsourced IT modernization, signaling an active, structured effort to upgrade infrastructure and strengthen security capabilities across departments. Without modernized cybersecurity controls, county systems and sensitive public data remain exposed to growing threats and operational disruption.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding has been identified as a viable pathway for cybersecurity tooling, and the county's FY 2027 budget reflects increased capital investment capacity. Acting within the current planning cycle allows the county to align procurement with available funding and reduce risk before the next fiscal year.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by 2028, creating a defined remediation deadline. Current accessibility gaps across digital portals present legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
The 2028 compliance horizon supports a phased remediation approach that aligns with upcoming fiscal planning cycles. This is an active, funded strategic initiative—acting now reduces legal risk and ensures residents have equitable access to digital government services.
Fleet Safety & Vehicle Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Fire & EMS Operations
High Priority
About this project
New vehicle proposals for the fire department lack dash cameras and telematics capabilities, creating a growing gap in fleet visibility and driver safety monitoring. While no immediate crisis exists, aging apparatus and an evolving fleet elevate operational risk and accountability concerns for the department.
The opportunity
FY 2027 budget allocations include continued Fire/EMS equipment funding and a $500,000 rural ambulance services grant, both of which may support fleet safety investments. A new Fire Chief presents a timely opening to advance fleet modernization as part of a broader operational improvement agenda.
