Emergency Operations Plan Development & Preparedness Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No current Emergency Operations Plan has been publicly located, creating exposure to federal grant ineligibility and operational risk during disasters — a gap made tangible by Hurricane Helene. Limitations in the existing mass notification system and an overdue NIMS compliance mandate further compound community preparedness deficiencies.
The opportunity
A leadership transition, active NIMS mandate, and post-disaster urgency create a near-term window to advance preparedness modernization. With the vetoed 911 surcharge increase limiting new revenue, cost-effective and cooperatively procured solutions align well with current budget constraints and upcoming fiscal planning cycles.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current community alert system has documented reach and reliability limitations, reducing its effectiveness during active incidents. Combined with an overdue Emergency Operations Plan and recent severe weather exposure, these gaps elevate both operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and post-disaster operational review create a timely window to advance modernization priorities. Cooperative procurement pathways are available to streamline acquisition, and NIMS-aligned investments may support federal preparedness grant eligibility during the upcoming planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved 911 system upgrade and grant-funded countywide radio modernization are underway, but a vetoed surcharge increase limits available funding. Emergency preparedness gaps—including an overdue EOP and mass notification limitations—elevate operational and grant-eligibility risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Confirmed capital investment and active grant funding create a near-term procurement window aligned with current fiscal planning. Addressing communications infrastructure now reduces operational exposure, supports NIMS compliance, and positions the county to protect and expand federal preparedness funding.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Sheriff's Department operates an aging fleet with documented transmission failures and no telematics or dash-camera coverage in place, creating measurable safety and liability exposure. A vehicle and equipment improvement program has been budget-approved at $100,000, establishing a confirmed funding baseline for near-term action.
The opportunity
An incoming Sheriff-elect creates a timely decision window to establish modern fleet oversight from the outset of new leadership. Cooperative procurement membership simplifies and accelerates the acquisition process, enabling faster deployment within the approved budget and current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →ADA Web Accessibility Compliance for Public Digital Services
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website shows evidence of accessibility gaps, including form tooling that may not meet federal standards. A firm federal ADA web-accessibility deadline of April 26, 2028, applies to public entities under 50,000 population, creating a defined compliance mandate with legal and reputational risk for non-compliance.
The opportunity
Acting ahead of the 2028 deadline allows the county to remediate incrementally, reducing cost and legal exposure compared to last-minute compliance efforts. Cooperative procurement pathways are available, and early action demonstrates public commitment to equitable digital access for all residents.
