Emergency Operations Plan Update and Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is 4.5 years overdue, creating critical compliance and operational risk ahead of an early 2027 deadline. Documented mass notification failures during Hurricane Harvey and re-enrollment gaps following a recent platform transition have exposed significant emergency preparedness vulnerabilities for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A pending Homeland Security grant award and a dedicated FY2027 Emergency Management budget increase provide active funding pathways, with a budget adoption hearing in September 2026 creating a near-term decision window. Addressing the EOP and notification gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens countywide emergency response before the next severe weather season.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a firm April 2027 deadline to achieve WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance under ADA Title II, with documented gaps remaining across public-facing digital portals and documents. Unresolved accessibility barriers expose the county to legal and civil rights risk while limiting equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
Funding is already approved and the FY2027 budget hearing on September 8, 2026 creates a near-term decision window. Acting now allows the county to remediate gaps systematically, meet the April 2027 mandate, and ensure digital services are equitably accessible to all residents.

IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The IT department faces an immediate operational continuity risk with the departure of two system administrators, leaving critical device oversight and security functions understaffed. Planned initiatives for laptop tracking and remote wipe capabilities remain unaddressed, increasing exposure to data loss and delayed incident response.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget includes a $312k IT increase with line items for computer equipment and modernization, with a budget hearing milestone in September 2026. The JAG Program offers a potential funding path for cybersecurity and endpoint tooling, making this an actionable window to reduce staffing-driven operational risk.

Discuss this project →Identity Security & Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A planned two-factor authentication rollout has stalled due to IT staffing losses, leaving a documented cybersecurity compliance gap with no password management solution in place. These unresolved identity security risks elevate exposure for county systems, staff, and the residents they serve.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget hearing in September 2026 represents a near-term window to secure funding for identity security improvements, with JAG Program funding identified as a potential path. Acting now reduces operational risk on a shrinking IT team and closes compliance gaps before the next budget cycle.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Tracking Readiness
Fleet Management · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
The county currently lacks a telematics solution for its vehicle fleet, creating gaps in visibility, accountability, and driver safety oversight. No active budget line item or documented incident has elevated this to an immediate priority, though the strategic need is recognized.
The opportunity
As higher-priority initiatives move through the FY2027 budget cycle, fleet telematics can be positioned for a future procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements already in place can streamline acquisition and reduce administrative burden when the county is ready to act.
