Countywide Cybersecurity & IT Infrastructure Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent countywide cyberattack compromised email systems and exposed critical gaps in endpoint management, password security, and law enforcement data access (TLETS). These incidents have elevated operational and compliance risk across county departments, prompting the creation of a dedicated IT Manager role to address systemic vulnerabilities.
The opportunity
The county has already amended its IT budget in direct response to the attack, signaling funded, near-term procurement readiness. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing exposure, supports continuity of public services, and aligns with available grant pathways including election security and rural assistance programs.

Discuss this project →ADA Website Compliance Before the 2026 Deadline
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A state mandate requires fully ADA-compliant websites and digital documents by December 31, 2026, and the county has already identified non-compliance across its web and document properties. Budget has been approved and active procurement is underway, making remediation an immediate operational priority to avoid regulatory exposure.
The opportunity
With a firm statutory deadline, approved budget, and active procurement already in motion, the window to plan and execute a compliant website migration is narrowing. Acting now ensures sufficient time for remediation, testing, and public access validation before the mandate takes effect.
Emergency Preparedness Modernization and EOP Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces documented emergency preparedness gaps, including an aging, undocumented Emergency Operations Plan and outdated alert systems. NIMS compliance requirements and Texas Government Code §418.106 mandates, compounded by recent severe weather declarations, elevate operational and legal risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Recent severe weather events and active compliance mandates create immediate urgency, while grant programs such as the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program offer viable funding pathways with limited local match. Addressing these gaps now strengthens community resilience and positions the county ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The entity has no existing fleet telematics or vehicle safety technology, while vehicle maintenance costs continue to rise. The planned acquisition of high-value apparatus creates immediate asset-protection and risk-reduction needs that current operations are not equipped to address.
The opportunity
A funded Fleet & Transportation modernization initiative creates a timely, greenfield entry point for telematics adoption with no legacy systems to displace. The Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program and USDA Community Facilities grants may offer eligible funding pathways to offset implementation costs.
Emergency Alert System Consolidation and Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on a fragmented emergency alert platform with identified preparedness gaps, undocumented processes, and NIMS compliance requirements under active evaluation. These conditions reduce the reliability of public notifications and elevate operational risk during severe weather or other emergencies.
The opportunity
Identified preparedness gaps and NIMS compliance obligations, combined with recent severe weather declarations, create urgency for consolidating alert capabilities within the current planning cycle. Grant programs supporting rural emergency management initiatives may offset costs, making this an actionable and fiscally responsible investment.
