EOP Modernization and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is undergoing a mandatory but incomplete transition to an ESF structure, with a December 2027 TDEM compliance deadline. A fragmented notification environment, documented effectiveness gaps in the current public alert system, an antiquated siren infrastructure, and a vacant Deputy Emergency Management Coordinator position collectively elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes explicit increases for Emergency Operations, and new Emergency Management leadership signals openness to modernization. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the county to meet the December 2027 TDEM mandate, consolidate redundant systems, and strengthen community resilience ahead of the compliance deadline.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027, for all public-facing web portals, with failure to comply introducing legal liability and barriers to equitable public access. A newly approved CMS in the FY 2026–2027 budget creates an immediate, adjacent need for document and digital content accessibility remediation across county digital properties.
The opportunity
With a hard regulatory deadline less than two years away and a new CMS already funded in the adopted budget, the county is positioned to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal exposure, ensures equitable service delivery to all residents, and aligns remediation efforts with the active Website Modernization initiative before the compliance window closes.
IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces active cybersecurity compliance mandates requiring annual training and incident reporting, with no dedicated credential management solution in place—a critical security gap. Existing virtualization licensing expires in November 2026, creating an urgent infrastructure decision point alongside a funded firewall migration and security monitoring initiative.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 adopted budget explicitly funds IT security, monitoring, auditing, and infrastructure upgrades, with the November 2026 licensing deadline driving immediate action. Federal justice assistance grant funding may also be available to offset cybersecurity modernization costs, supporting fiscally responsible, compliance-aligned outcomes.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A Sheriff's Office vehicle loss has exposed the absence of a confirmed fleet telematics solution, leaving the county without reliable accident documentation or claims defensibility. Active efforts to formalize accident reporting procedures signal a recognized accountability gap that increases operational and liability risk.
The opportunity
An active, funded fleet replacement and modernization initiative creates a near-term procurement window to address safety and accountability gaps. The BJA JAG grant program may offer an eligible funding path when the project is framed as a law-enforcement fleet-safety technology investment, reducing local budget impact.
BJA FY 2026 JAG Program
Discuss this project →Credential & Identity Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county lacks a centralized credential management solution, leaving its broad Microsoft and enterprise infrastructure vulnerable to unauthorized access and credential-based threats. Active cybersecurity compliance mandates—including annual training and incident reporting requirements—are in place, and the absence of centralized identity governance elevates both operational and audit risk.
The opportunity
The adopted FY 2026–2027 budget includes explicit funding for IT security, monitoring, and auditing, and the active IT Cybersecurity Modernization initiative signals leadership commitment and available appropriations. Federal justice assistance grant funding may also apply, making this an optimal window to close a documented compliance gap and reduce credential-related exposure.
