Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, relies on county-managed mass notification with continuity risks, and has no village-level HSEEP-style exercises. These gaps create direct compliance exposure under NIMS and EMHSD mandates, which are tied to preparedness funding eligibility.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (HSGP, EMPG) offer a near-term funding path aligned with the 2026–2027 budget planning cycle, and a new Fire Chief signals leadership readiness for emergency services investment. Acting now closes compliance gaps, restores funding eligibility, and strengthens community-level response capacity.
Unified Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently operates a fragmented alert ecosystem, relying on Nixle for local notifications alongside a separate county-managed system, creating continuity gaps and limiting village-level control during incidents. This split infrastructure undermines reliable, coordinated communication and elevates operational risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Active HSGP and EMPG grant cycles provide eligible funding pathways for mass notification modernization with strong alignment to emergency preparedness mandates including NIMS and EMHSD compliance. Consolidating now ahead of the upcoming budget planning cycle reduces operational risk, strengthens incident response, and positions the village for unified, mission-ready communications.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks documented dash-cameras and telematics across its fleet, creating significant legal and liability exposure—underscored by an active civil-rights lawsuit in which video evidence is a central issue. A planned police vehicle replacement program and ongoing capital fleet replacement cycle make this gap increasingly urgent to address.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 (JAG and COPS TEP) directly support fleet telematics acquisition, and the Motor Vehicle Fund provides an existing budget pathway for procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes funding alignment and reduces ongoing liability risk to the department and the public it serves.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The entity has identified WCAG 2.1 gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access under ADA mandates. A compliance deadline passed in April 2024, meaning remediation is already overdue and risk continues to accrue.
The opportunity
Active budget planning cycles and cooperative procurement vehicles can reduce cost and accelerate remediation timelines. Addressing this gap now limits legal liability, restores equitable public access, and demonstrates responsible stewardship of digital infrastructure.
