Emergency Operations & EOC Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Basic Emergency Management Plan—including EOP, COOP, and hazard annexes—is outdated, and communication failures during recent flood events have drawn public criticism. State and federal mandates require plan updates currently underway, while documented coordination gaps continue to elevate operational and life-safety risk.
The opportunity
A secured $1M grant for emergency warning systems and active UASI funding create a near-term procurement window aligned to incoming EM leadership in early spring 2026. Acting now ensures continuity of grant eligibility, accelerates compliance, and positions the county to close critical preparedness gaps before the next severe weather season.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a federal ADA compliance deadline of April 2026, requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across public-facing digital properties. With an active Accessibility Improvement Plan and over $1M approved for website modernization, failure to act risks regulatory exposure and inequitable access to public services.
The opportunity
Approved funding and active procurement create immediate conditions for action ahead of the April 2026 federal deadline. Addressing accessibility now protects the county from compliance risk, advances digital equity for all residents, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.
Privileged Access Management & Cybersecurity Compliance
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a mandatory FBI CJIS Security Policy v6.0 compliance deadline in October 2025, with documented gaps spanning log management, threat detection, vulnerability management, incident response, DLP, and endpoint protection. Failure to meet this mandate puts criminal justice data access and operational continuity at significant risk.
The opportunity
With $350K already budgeted for privileged access management and a hard compliance deadline approaching, the window to act within the current fiscal cycle is narrow. Addressing these gaps now reduces audit exposure, protects sensitive public data, and positions the county for sustainable cybersecurity posture.
Major Incident Management Platform Replacement
IT Modernization · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The county is actively procuring a replacement for its current major incident management platform, with the initiative included in the FY27 budget. Gaps in incident coordination—compounded by documented communication failures during recent flood events—elevate operational risk for staff, residents, and emergency responders.
The opportunity
Active procurement and FY27 budget alignment create a near-term decision window to modernize incident response capabilities. Federal grant funding for emergency warning and communications systems may offset costs, and incoming emergency management leadership presents a timely opportunity to advance this initiative.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and Unified Device Management
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county manages a $29.2M annual IT and software portfolio with documented technology overlap across endpoint and infrastructure domains. Fragmented tooling creates operational inefficiencies, and FY27 budget planning signals a strategic window to consolidate and modernize unified IT orchestration and device management.
The opportunity
Active FY27 budget allocations and projected increases in IT infrastructure spending create a near-term opportunity to reduce redundancy and strengthen operational continuity. Consolidating device management and orchestration now supports long-term cost stewardship and positions the county for scalable, resilient service delivery.
