EOP Development and Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Mattawan lacks a publicly posted EOP, relies solely on sirens for mass notification, and operates a fragmented alert ecosystem split between county-level systems and local infrastructure. NIMS compliance mandates and an overdue 4-year EOP review cycle elevate operational and regulatory risk during incidents.
The opportunity
BRIC and HSGP grant programs are aligned with preparedness and mitigation investments, offering a viable funding pathway with the Village's active FY2026–2027 budget process. Acting now addresses an urgent compliance mandate, closes critical public safety gaps, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline procurement.
Fleet Safety Monitoring & Incident Reconstruction Readiness
Public Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department has faced significant liability exposure—including a $250,000 settlement tied to an incident where available dashcam footage was insufficient—highlighting critical gaps in fleet safety monitoring and incident documentation. Strengthening these capabilities is essential to reducing operational risk, protecting officers and residents, and supporting defensible incident reconstruction.
The opportunity
Active grant programs explicitly funding law enforcement equipment and technology provide a direct, low-barrier funding path for this initiative. With cooperative purchasing agreements already in place and an ongoing FY2026–2027 budget cycle, the conditions for advancing this project are well-aligned—delaying action extends liability exposure and defers a high-priority public safety outcome.

IT Modernization · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village has a budget-approved initiative to replace its Police Department server, signaling an active and confirmed IT infrastructure need. Concurrent leadership vacancies in both the Village Manager and Police Lieutenant roles may affect project continuity and procurement timelines if not addressed proactively.
The opportunity
With budget already confirmed and an active FY2026–2027 planning cycle underway, this project is positioned for near-term execution. Advancing procurement now reduces operational risk during the leadership transition and ensures public safety systems remain reliable and supportable.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing digital portals have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to government services. These gaps remain unaddressed despite an existing web hosting relationship, elevating both regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
ADA/WCAG mandates carry inherent legal urgency, and addressing compliance gaps now aligns with the Village's active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and available general operating funds. Remediating accessibility barriers improves public service delivery and reduces liability risk for the municipality.
Security Camera Infrastructure Grant Deployment
Public Safety Technology · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has an active security camera grant application in progress, signaling a near-term procurement decision for expanded surveillance infrastructure. Delays in resolution risk losing funding alignment and leave public safety coverage gaps unaddressed during a period of leadership transition.
The opportunity
With an active grant application in motion and a broader public safety technology initiative underway—including body-worn cameras and fleet safety—this is a critical window to advance procurement and maximize funding. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity, compliance with grant terms, and strengthened community safety outcomes.
Strengthen Credential Security During IT Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active IT initiatives, including a budget-approved police server procurement, expose credential and endpoint security gaps at a critical transition point. Leadership vacancies and expanding infrastructure increase the risk of unauthorized access and data compromise across municipal systems.
The opportunity
The active FY2026–2027 budget cycle and HSGP-aligned funding create a timely, grant-eligible pathway to address cybersecurity gaps alongside ongoing infrastructure investments. Acting now embeds layered credential and endpoint protections before new systems go live, reducing long-term remediation costs and operational risk.
