Emergency Operations Plan Update and Governance Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Northlake's Emergency Operations Plan is more than five years overdue for review, and NIMS adoption remains unconfirmed, creating measurable compliance and preparedness gaps. The town's reliance on a county-operated notification system—without a standalone municipal capability—leaves residents and staff exposed during critical incidents.
The opportunity
FY2027 budget allocations for emergency management technology and an active interjurisdictional planning initiative signal near-term readiness to act. Addressing EOP governance now reduces operational and compliance risk while aligning with cooperative purchasing channels that streamline procurement.

Discuss this project →ADA Title II Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a federal ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance by April 26, 2028, with an active ADA Compliance Study already designated as a capital improvement planning initiative. Gaps in website and document accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
With a fixed federal deadline and ADA remediation already embedded in capital improvement planning, the funding groundwork is in place to act within the current fiscal cycle. Advancing this project now reduces legal risk, ensures equitable digital access for all residents, and avoids costlier emergency remediation closer to the compliance deadline.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented patrol vehicle crash in 2022 exposed gaps in driver oversight, and the department currently lacks confirmed telematics or dash camera systems. With an active fleet replacement and expansion program underway, the absence of vehicle monitoring creates ongoing safety and accountability risk for officers and the public.
The opportunity
The FY2026–2027 patrol vehicle acquisition initiative creates a natural integration point for telematics adoption, aligning procurement momentum with safety modernization goals. Acting within this budget cycle allows the department to embed visibility and accountability tools into new assets before the fleet scales further.

Discuss this project →Modernizing IT Endpoint Management for Municipal Efficiency
IT Modernization · Operational Efficiency
High Priority
About this project
The town has an active strategic initiative to advance operational efficiency through expanded technology use, yet endpoint visibility and IT management tooling remain underdeveloped. With over $1.1M in annual technology spend, gaps in endpoint oversight create operational risk and limit the return on existing IT investment.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program provides a viable grant-backed funding path for IT management and endpoint technology, with no competing solutions currently in place. Acting within the upcoming grant cycle positions the town to expand capability, reduce operational risk, and align procurement with cooperative purchasing channels already in use.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's IT spend profile and Technology Services Fund signal a need for improved security tooling, including endpoint protection and credential management. No confirmed security incidents are cited, but the absence of documented controls presents operational and reputational risk for public-sector continuity.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Program explicitly covers cybersecurity and endpoint technology, offering a direct federal funding pathway. Engaging early in the grant cycle allows the department to shape requirements and align procurement with upcoming FY planning windows.
