Emergency Management Modernization & EOP Overhaul
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces significant emergency preparedness gaps, including no verified current Emergency Operations Plan, limited mass-notification contract visibility, and no public after-action reports, while EMPG and NIMS compliance mandates require documented, up-to-date plans. A newly appointed Local Emergency Manager signals leadership readiness to address these operational and compliance risks.
The opportunity
A July 2026 Homeland Security Grant Program deadline funds emergency communications and mass-notification equipment, and an approved $3M 911/EOC application confirms active investment momentum. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with grant eligibility, leadership transition, and the FY25–26 Dispatch Refresh capital project.
Mass Notification System Replacement
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass-notification platform lacks documented contract terms and verified coverage, creating a measurable preparedness gap. With EMPG and NIMS compliance mandates active and no public evidence of system adequacy, operational and public safety risk remains elevated.
The opportunity
The HSGP grant deadline of July 2026 provides a concrete, time-sensitive funding path for mass-notification equipment replacement. A newly appointed Emergency Manager, active E-911/Dispatch budget discussions, and an ongoing Hazard Mitigation Plan update create strong conditions for action within the current fiscal cycle.
911 Dispatch & Emergency Operations Center Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
The county has an approved $3M capital project to upgrade its 911 Dispatch and Emergency Operations Center in FY25-26, with active budget meetings underway. A newly appointed Central Dispatch Director signals accelerating decision-making, while documented gaps in mass-notification coverage and emergency preparedness elevate operational and compliance risk under EMPG and NIMS mandates.
The opportunity
The FY25-26 capital budget window is open and procurement is actively progressing, with co-op purchasing vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Homeland Security Grant Program funding—with a July 2026 deadline—offers a direct path to offset costs while advancing public safety readiness and compliance outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Deployment
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a significant bus fleet with MDT modems but lacks telematics or dash-cam infrastructure, leaving safety incidents undocumented and liability exposure unmitigated. A $75,000 patrol car crash settlement and sheriff logs citing near-misses and mechanical issues underscore the financial and operational risk to the county.
The opportunity
Co-op procurement vehicles can accelerate purchasing and reduce administrative burden, making this an actionable project within the current fiscal cycle. Deploying telematics now reduces liability exposure, improves driver accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public assets and taxpayer funds.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Management Platform Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county's endpoint management environment is in active transition following a recent PC refresh, with the incumbent platform identified as a candidate for replacement. Without a consolidated, modern solution, the county faces operational gaps in device visibility, patch compliance, and cybersecurity posture across its endpoint fleet.
The opportunity
Active IT investment momentum and an annual technology budget of $666,000 signal near-term capacity to act. Cooperative purchasing contracts can streamline procurement above formal bid thresholds, enabling faster deployment and alignment with the current fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 and ADA compliance across public-facing digital properties, creating legal and reputational exposure. A broadband expansion initiative and a newly created Digital Communications Coordinator role are increasing the visibility and urgency of accessible service delivery for all residents.
The opportunity
Active leadership investment and an expanding digital footprint make this an ideal moment to remediate accessibility gaps before compliance risk escalates. This effort aligns with the current fiscal cycle and may be eligible for state or federal funding tied to broadband equity and digital inclusion initiatives.
