Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly available EOP, a mass notification system, and documented HSEEP-style exercises, leaving NIMS and EOP review mandates unaddressed. A recent winter storm State of Emergency caused $2.3M in hospital damage, exposing critical gaps in preparedness and public safety response.
The opportunity
Two FEMA grant programs with July 2026 deadlines provide a near-term funding path for this initiative, and cooperative purchasing agreements streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and positions the department to meet federal preparedness standards.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
WCAG and DOJ web accessibility mandates remain unaddressed, with a 2028 federal compliance deadline and no remediation plan in place. This gap exposes the entity to legal liability and restricts equitable public access to essential digital services.
The opportunity
The 2028 DOJ deadline creates a defined planning window, making early action critical to reducing legal exposure and avoiding costly emergency remediation. FEMA grant funding may support accessibility components, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Staff rely on a fragmented mix of official domain and personal email accounts for credential management, creating measurable cybersecurity vulnerabilities and governance gaps. This unaddressed risk exposes public data, undermines access controls, and leaves the organization without a defensible identity management posture.
The opportunity
Procurement thresholds support streamlined acquisition for an initial engagement or pilot within the current fiscal cycle, reducing barriers to action. Addressing credential fragmentation now strengthens security governance, reduces breach risk, and positions the organization for compliance with evolving cybersecurity mandates.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Apparatus Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates large apparatus on rural roads and at active incident scenes, creating meaningful preventative safety risk without current telematics oversight. The absence of vehicle monitoring tools limits situational awareness and leaves the agency exposed to operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
Ongoing apparatus procurement activity and historical FEMA public safety funding create a natural alignment for advancing telematics now, within the current budget and procurement cycle. Proactive investment supports crew safety, reduces long-term risk exposure, and may qualify for available public safety grant funding.

Discuss this project →IT Systems Management & Software Lifecycle
IT Modernization · Software Lifecycle Management
High Priority
About this project
Recent software deployments for land notification and landscaping applications signal active IT modernization, but a centralized system for managing endpoints and software lifecycles appears absent. Without structured oversight, newly deployed systems face patching gaps, compliance exposure, and increased operational risk.
The opportunity
Recent software upgrade approvals confirm available IT budget activity despite a General Fund spending freeze, and upcoming millage votes may expand funding capacity. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place, enabling efficient, compliant procurement aligned with the current fiscal cycle.
