Municipal Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has no local mass notification policy, relying solely on county-level systems. The absence of local emergency exercises compounds these preparedness gaps, creating significant compliance exposure and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A $400,000 Community Development Block Grant for tornado recovery represents a near-term funding window, with a July budget presentation and August Board approval defining a 90-day decision timeline. Acting now aligns with active grant eligibility, FEMA program opportunities, and the upcoming fiscal cycle to close critical preparedness gaps.
Municipal Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The municipality lacks a local mass notification policy and relies solely on a county-level alert platform, creating gaps in local control, redundancy, and reliable communications during emergencies. Without a municipal-owned solution, residents and staff face elevated risk when county-level coordination is delayed or unavailable.
The opportunity
Active FEMA-aligned grant programs — including EMPG, BRIC, and HSGP — directly support emergency notification infrastructure with limited local match requirements. An upcoming budget cycle and board approval window create a near-term decision point to close preparedness gaps and establish locally controlled, resilient public communications.
Web Accessibility & Document Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village website has a documented accessibility gap tied to scanned documents, with a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 24, 2027. Non-compliance carries explicit legal exposure, and a fragmented document ecosystem spanning scanned PDFs and cloud storage compounds remediation complexity.
The opportunity
The county's Enhanced Access Policy explicitly covers hardware, software, and system development costs, providing a direct funding pathway for remediation. The upcoming July budget presentation and August Board approval cycle create a near-term window to initiate a compliant, funded accessibility program.

Discuss this project →IT Infrastructure Modernization & Remote Management
IT Modernization · Remote Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
Aging IT infrastructure and reliance on an outdated remote management platform present growing operational and compliance risk for staff and service delivery. High-urgency mandates for infrastructure upgrades require action ahead of the upcoming budget cycle to avoid compounding technical debt and potential audit exposure.
The opportunity
The Enhanced Access Policy provides an eligible funding mechanism covering software and system development costs, and the July budget presentation followed by August Board approval creates a defined decision window. Aligning this initiative with the current fiscal cycle and available FEMA grant opportunities maximizes funding coverage and reduces long-term operational risk.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Telematics & Dash Camera Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department fleet currently lacks integrated telematics and dash camera coverage, creating gaps in vehicle accountability, driver safety documentation, and incident response visibility. While no critical incidents have been recorded, the absence of these systems represents an unaddressed operational risk for emergency response operations.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs, including EMPG and HSGP, offer potential partial funding when fleet telematics is scoped within emergency response operations, and cooperative purchasing agreements can simplify procurement. Engaging this project ahead of the upcoming July budget presentation and August Board approval cycle positions the department to act within the current decision window.
