IT Infrastructure and Email System Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A board-directed request to upgrade email systems and transition to a new IT vendor signals an immediate modernization need, while current annual IT spend of ~$3,370 reflects a significantly underinvested infrastructure. Allocated budget lines for computer equipment and telecom confirm funds exist, but inaction elevates cybersecurity and operational continuity risk.
The opportunity
The approved FY26/27 budget creates an active procurement window, and relevant public safety and cybersecurity grants with 2026 deadlines may offset transition costs. Acting now aligns with board priorities, a new leadership transition, and the current fiscal cycle before the window closes.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The airport currently lacks documented cybersecurity compliance measures and password security controls, with historically low IT spend signaling significant gaps in endpoint and credential protection. An active board-level IT modernization initiative and a new Airport Director underscore the urgency to address these vulnerabilities before they create operational or regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
The approved FY26/27 budget and multiple grants with 2026 deadlines create an immediate, time-sensitive funding pathway for cybersecurity improvements. Acting now aligns with the current procurement window, reduces institutional risk, and positions the airport to meet emerging compliance expectations with available public funds.

Fleet Management · Public Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The airport operates a maintenance-heavy vehicle fleet with no formal telematics system, relying on ad-hoc group texts for crew coordination—creating operational inefficiencies and accountability gaps. An active fleet maintenance and replacement policy signals readiness for modernization, but current practices fall short of efficient, auditable fleet operations.
The opportunity
Identified grants with 2026 deadlines and an approved FY26/27 budget create a near-term procurement window for fleet telematics. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and ensure responsible stewardship of public funds.

Discuss this project →Close Digital Accessibility Gaps in Public-Facing Web Services
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The airport's public-facing website and digital services lack documented compliance with web and document accessibility standards, creating potential legal exposure and inequitable access for residents with disabilities. Without a formal accessibility plan, the gap in ADA/Section 508 alignment poses growing operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
With an approved FY26/27 budget and a millage renewal vote in August 2026 signaling a healthy financial outlook, this is an actionable window to remediate accessibility gaps before they escalate into compliance findings. Addressing this now supports equitable public access and aligns with the airport's active digital services initiative.
