Emergency Operations Plan Review and Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency's Emergency Operations Plan has not been formally updated since 2020, while repeated severe weather events and recent declared emergencies have exposed critical operational gaps. A compliance mandate requires emergency management plan review and staff training to be completed by December 31, 2026.
The opportunity
With a hard compliance deadline approaching and budget already approved for emergency notification, this fiscal cycle presents a clear window to close preparedness gaps and reduce public risk. Rural emergency management grant funding and cooperative purchasing agreements offer accessible, cost-effective procurement pathways.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification coverage is unconfirmed, and a split between notification and dispatch platforms creates integration gaps that elevate operational risk during emergencies. Budget has been approved for an Emergency Notification System, and the Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review, compounding compliance exposure ahead of a December 2026 mandate.
The opportunity
Funding is already approved and a budget hearing on September 10, 2026 reinforces near-term decision timelines. Acting now addresses an overdue EOP compliance deadline, consolidates fragmented platforms, and strengthens public safety outcomes ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Training & Credential Compliance by Deadline
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Safety IT
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces a hard August 31, 2026 compliance deadline for mandatory cybersecurity training, with budget already approved for cybersecurity devices, audits, and software. A pending $350K Sheriff's security enhancement request signals elevated operational risk and unmet credential management needs across public safety systems.
The opportunity
Dual funding paths—approved departmental budget and an active BJA FY 2026 JAG grant application (deadline October 2026)—create an immediate window to act before fiscal and compliance deadlines converge. Addressing this now reduces audit exposure, strengthens staff credential security, and positions the agency for sustainable IT modernization.

Discuss this project →Modernize Endpoint Management During Server Migration
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency is actively migrating its server and Active Directory environment, with Windows endpoints lacking modern management tooling and no incumbent systems integration in place. A $31k increase in countywide technology-maintenance agreements signals growing IT investment, while a cybersecurity training compliance deadline of August 2026 adds regulatory urgency.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG grant (deadline October 2026) explicitly supports IT modernization and cybersecurity initiatives, providing a viable funding pathway with defined timing. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the agency to close endpoint management gaps, meet compliance mandates, and establish a scalable infrastructure foundation.

Discuss this project →Website Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces a documented mandate to achieve website accessibility compliance by April 26, 2028, while operating across two separate website platforms. This split digital ecosystem compounds remediation complexity and increases the risk of non-compliance, inequitable public access, and costly last-minute fixes.
The opportunity
Engaging now allows time for phased remediation planning and platform consolidation ahead of the 2028 deadline, avoiding emergency-budget pressure. Early action aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and supports equitable, accessible digital services for all residents.

Discuss this project →Reduce Fleet Incidents Through Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Safety · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency has experienced fleet-involved accidents resulting in deputy hospitalization and vehicle damage, creating measurable financial and liability exposure. Budgeted insurance and repair costs reflect an ongoing burden that active fleet modernization planning aims to address.
The opportunity
Fleet telematics investments are eligible through cooperative purchasing agreements, reducing procurement complexity and timeline. Addressing safety gaps now supports deputy welfare, lowers insurance and repair costs, and aligns with the agency's active modernization priorities ahead of the upcoming budget cycle.
