Washington County IT reports website refresh and an 18-month CAD/RMS public-safety rollout goes live in two weeks

Terry, reporting to the Washington County IT committee on Feb. 24, said the county’s website redesign is complete and live and described an 18‑month CAD and RMS implementation for public safety that will go live in about two weeks.

Terry called the CAD/RMS work a "massive undertaking," noting it affects the sheriff’s office (RMS) and public‑safety CAD functions. She credited county teams and the software vendor for keeping the go‑live on schedule. "This was our go live date in the beginning. Hasn't changed, hasn't pushed... 14 days away," she said.

Terry also reviewed the January ticketing report and noted that departments such as the sheriff’s office and social services typically generate higher ticket volumes because of user counts. She addressed questions about website accessibility and PDF ADA compliance dates, explaining that municipalities with populations over 50,000 face an April 24 compliance trigger while smaller jurisdictions face a later effective date (she cited April 27), and recommended third‑party tools or in‑house fixes depending on volume.

Implications and next steps: county staff should prepare for the CAD/RMS transition in the next two weeks and continue ADA remediation for PDFs as the regulatory dates approach. Terry said she will share vendor and accessibility‑tool details with committee members who request them.
