Police Fleet Acquisition and Asset Management
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved police vehicle purchase and outfitting is underway for FY 2026–27, yet the entity lacks a formal fleet management program, with documented gaps in policy, training, and telematics. These administrative deficiencies create operational risk and compliance exposure around maintenance schedules and asset accountability.
The opportunity
This initiative is already funded in the adopted budget, and low procurement thresholds may allow faster acquisition without a formal bid process. The JAG program offers a potential funding path for law enforcement fleet equipment, making this an ideal moment to close operational and compliance gaps.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A budget-approved police drone acquisition reflects a strategic commitment to expanding aerial public safety capabilities, yet documented gaps in NIMS/EOP compliance, mass-notification enrollment, and formal emergency exercises leave the jurisdiction operationally exposed. Integrating drone assets into a compliant emergency management framework is critical to closing these preparedness deficiencies.
The opportunity
This initiative is fully funded in the FY 2026–27 budget, with the FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program offering a July 2026 deadline as a clear funding pathway for emergency management equipment. Acting now ensures aerial response tools are deployed, documented, and compliant before the next grant cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The jurisdiction lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, jurisdiction-wide mass-notification enrollment, and recorded exercises, leaving residents and staff exposed during incidents. NIMS/EOP compliance mandates are unmet, and the county's active launch of a new alert system underscores an urgent, unresolved readiness gap.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding with a July 2026 deadline is explicitly eligible for mass-notification and emergency management equipment, offering a near-term, grant-aligned path to close critical gaps. The incoming Village Manager and active county alert system rollout create a timely window to consolidate preparedness efforts and advance compliance.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A documented gap in password and credential management introduces meaningful cybersecurity risk to IT operations and public-facing systems. With a modest annual IT and software budget, existing security tooling is likely limited, leaving staff accounts and sensitive data exposed to unauthorized access.
The opportunity
Addressing this compliance-identified gap now aligns with the upcoming fiscal cycle and a potential millage renewal that would sustain IT operations funding. Formalizing credential management reduces breach risk, supports audit readiness, and strengthens stewardship of public systems and data.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity has no documented evidence of WCAG 2.1 website compliance, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to public digital services. As federal accessibility standards increasingly apply to government portals, this gap poses growing risk to residents and the organization alike.
The opportunity
A new Village Manager and an adopted FY 2026–27 budget create a timely opening to prioritize digital modernization. The library millage renewal on the August 2026 ballot offers a modest signal of sustained budget capacity, and remediation may align with state or federal accessibility funding pathways.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The jurisdiction operates a fragmented alerting ecosystem with no dedicated mass-notification enrollment for jurisdiction-wide incidents, creating inconsistent public communication during emergencies. This split infrastructure increases operational risk and undermines coordinated response as the county simultaneously launches a new alert system.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding explicitly covers mass notification equipment with a July 2026 deadline, creating a time-sensitive, grant-eligible window aligned with the county's active system rollout. Acting now enables consolidation, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens jurisdiction-wide emergency communication for residents and first responders.
