Emergency Preparedness Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including an unverified EPP, an underperforming mass notification system, and no confirmed exercises or dedicated coordinator — while Texas Water Code and PUC mandates require documented compliance. The current emergency communications contract expires September 30, 2026, creating an immediate replacement deadline.
The opportunity
EMPG and HSGP grant awards are anticipated and explicitly support emergency management technology, offering a near-term funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity of public alerting, closes compliance gaps, and reduces operational risk before the contract cancellation deadline.
Fleet Safety Modernization & Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district has sustained multiple vehicle accidents, insurance claims, total losses, and faces an active personal injury lawsuit, exposing significant operational and legal risk. The absence of telematics and onboard video evidence capabilities leaves the organization without critical tools to document incidents, defend claims, and improve driver safety outcomes.
The opportunity
A board-approved fleet modernization initiative and active budget cycle create immediate procurement readiness to address documented safety deficiencies. Acting now reduces legal liability, lowers insurance costs, and strengthens the district's duty-of-care obligations to staff and the public it serves.
Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district's FY2026–2027 proposed budget includes newly dedicated funding for cybersecurity and significant increases for software and computer replacement, signaling a deliberate shift toward IT modernization. With no incumbent vendors identified, the organization faces both an open procurement landscape and the operational risk of unaddressed cyber vulnerabilities across critical public infrastructure.
The opportunity
Budget has already been approved for cybersecurity and IT modernization, reducing procurement friction and enabling action within the current fiscal cycle. EMPG and HSGP grant awards are anticipated, offering additional funding pathways to extend investment and strengthen long-term operational resilience.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's public-facing digital portals are currently non-compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access for constituents with disabilities. A federal compliance deadline of 2028 for WCAG 2.2 Level AA is established, and inaction increases regulatory and litigation risk.
The opportunity
The 2028 federal deadline creates a firm compliance window, and the district's approved budget increase for computer and web software signals readiness to act within the current fiscal cycle. Phased implementation begun now reduces remediation costs, supports equitable public access, and positions the district ahead of enforcement risk.
Endpoint & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has approved a dedicated cybersecurity budget for FY2026-2027 and is actively pursuing IT modernization, yet no endpoint or identity security solutions are currently in place. This gap exposes staff, systems, and public data to credential-based threats and unauthorized access risks.
The opportunity
With a newly allocated cybersecurity budget and an open procurement cycle, this is the optimal window to establish endpoint and identity security controls before risks escalate. EMPG and HSGP grant awards anticipated in the near term may further offset local costs and extend investment capacity.
