Modernize Emergency Management & Mass Notification Coverage
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Union County faces unverified Emergency Operations Plan status, mass notification gaps tied to an enrollment-dependent alert system, and undocumented exercises — all elevating compliance and operational risk. These deficiencies threaten NIMS adoption standing and federal grant eligibility, leaving residents and staff underprotected during emergencies.
The opportunity
Budget-approved funding for Emergency Management and E-911 services signals near-term procurement alignment, and federal grant opportunities support preparedness initiatives with potential cost offsets. Addressing coverage and compliance gaps now protects public safety outcomes and positions the county for continued federal funding eligibility.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance across public-facing web content and PDF documents by April 2028. Entities that fail to remediate risk civil rights complaints, legal exposure, and exclusion of residents with disabilities from essential government services.
The opportunity
The April 2028 deadline creates a defined window for phased, budget-conscious remediation planning. Acting now allows jurisdictions to sequence work across fiscal cycles, align spending with existing software investments, and demonstrate proactive stewardship of equitable public access.
Fleet Safety Risk Control and Evidence Preservation
Fleet Safety Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented patrol-vehicle injury involving alleged procedural deficiencies has exposed gaps in fleet risk control and evidence preservation practices. This incident creates measurable liability exposure and underscores the need for formalized fleet safety capabilities to protect personnel and the public.
The opportunity
Incident-driven urgency positions this as a near-term priority, with leadership accountability and liability concerns accelerating the case for action. Purchases above $50,000 will require a formal bid process, making early planning essential to align with the upcoming fiscal cycle.
Strengthening County Credential Security and IT Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Union County's annual IT and software spend is critically low, signaling limited investment in foundational cybersecurity controls such as credential and password management. Without confirmed protections in place, county systems and sensitive public data face elevated risk from unauthorized access and potential compliance exposure.
The opportunity
The FY 2026 COPS SVPP grant, with an August 2026 deadline, represents a viable external funding pathway for IT management and credential security initiatives. Engaging now during pre-cycle planning positions the county to compete for funds and close critical security gaps before the next budget window closes.
