Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Sterling County has a grant-funded initiative to update its Hazard Mitigation Plan, with no documented testing of existing emergency plans. TDEM updated planning standards carry compliance deadlines in 2027–2028, elevating operational and regulatory risk for residents and emergency personnel.
The opportunity
Funding is already secured through a TDEM-administered grant, removing budget uncertainty, and procurement award is anticipated in August 2026 with project commencement in September 2026. Acting now ensures compliance with approaching mandates and strengthens community resilience before the window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a documented mass-notification platform and has no recorded testing of emergency notification plans, leaving residents and staff without a reliable alert system during critical incidents. This gap directly undermines emergency preparedness standards and elevates operational and compliance risk ahead of TDEM planning deadlines.
The opportunity
Secured hazard mitigation grant funding provides a clear budget pathway, and the active HMP update commencing in late 2026 creates a defined implementation window. Acting now aligns with TDEM planning mandates, strengthens community resilience, and ensures grant-eligible expenditures are applied before the current funding cycle closes.

Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website runs on an aging platform that does not meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. With a compliance deadline of April 2028, the absence of an accessibility solution in place creates growing legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
The defined April 2028 deadline creates a clear procurement planning window, and the county's active digital modernization efforts—including document-signing evaluation—signal readiness to act. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable service delivery, aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle, and may qualify for state or federal funding pathways.

Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on vehicle cameras but lacks comprehensive telematics and driver-behavior monitoring, leaving fleet-risk analytics incomplete—particularly for emergency-response vehicles. These gaps present measurable safety and liability exposure for staff and the communities they serve.
The opportunity
Secured rural ambulance and law enforcement grants, combined with a 19.5% FY2026 property tax revenue increase, create a strong funding window for fleet safety investment. Cooperative purchasing options can further reduce procurement complexity and accelerate deployment within the current budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Endpoint Security and IT Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county's fragmented technology footprint—with recognized gaps in password management and endpoint security—leaves critical systems, including 9-1-1 infrastructure, exposed to cyber risk. Active cybersecurity training initiatives signal awareness, but without unified endpoint and credential controls, operational continuity and public safety remain vulnerable.
The opportunity
The JAG Local Formula grant presents a near-term, eligible funding path for cybersecurity and IT modernization investments, aligning well with the current fiscal cycle. Upcoming vendor contract renewals in 2027 create a timely consolidation window to reduce risk, improve security posture, and maximize stewardship of public funds.
