Emergency Operations Plan Development & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and HSEEP-style exercises, creating significant preparedness gaps. NIMS implementation and EOP maintenance are required for grant eligibility, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The newly approved FY2026-27 budget and July 1 fiscal year start open a near-term spending window, while active grant programs—including HSGP and EMPG—require NIMS/EOP compliance as a direct prerequisite. Acting now maximizes funding eligibility and strengthens community resilience.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's current mass notification system has documented operational limitations that have been exposed by recent severe weather events, creating gaps in public alerting and emergency communications. Compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and EOP maintenance elevate the urgency of addressing these deficiencies before the next grant cycle or audit review.
The opportunity
The active budget cycle, including a recently approved FY2026–27 budget and July 1 fiscal year start, creates a near-term window to act. Homeland Security and Emergency Management Performance grants directly support mass notification modernization, often with limited local match required, making this an operationally and fiscally sound priority for the upcoming cycle.
Fleet Telematics & Dashcam Program Launch
Public Safety · Fleet Operations
High Priority
About this project
The department currently lacks a telematics or dashcam program, creating ongoing liability exposure and operational blind spots for a public safety fleet. Without this capability, incident documentation, driver accountability, and risk mitigation remain unaddressed gaps.
The opportunity
Recent budget approvals, including a Capital Improvement Plan with a July 1 fiscal year start, signal a near-term procurement window. Existing public safety technology investments demonstrate institutional readiness, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce procurement complexity and cost.
Endpoint Security & IT Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented IT landscape with multiple local vendors points to inconsistent endpoint oversight and unaddressed cybersecurity gaps. Without centralized management, the village faces elevated exposure to data breaches, service disruptions, and compliance risk across public-facing systems.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY2026–27 budget and new revenue streams create a near-term funding window for IT security investment. Acting within this fiscal cycle enables the village to reduce operational risk, establish consistent endpoint governance, and align with procurement vehicles already in use.
