Password & Shared-Account Governance Remediation
Cybersecurity · Compliance & Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
A recent DPW debit card compromise—rooted in shared-account and weak password practices—has exposed the department to operational and financial risk. A compliance mandate requiring strong password and security standards takes effect January 1, 2026, making remediation both urgent and non-negotiable.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved with a hard compliance deadline, and asset forfeiture funds designated for technology—alongside available DOJ grant pathways—reduce reliance on general revenue. Acting within the current fiscal window ensures compliance, closes a documented vulnerability, and protects public assets.
Asset Forfeiture Funds
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & In-Car Video Safety Deployment
Public Safety · Fleet Management
High Priority
About this project
The department currently operates without fleet telematics or in-car video, leaving law enforcement vehicle operations without documented evidence to defend against liability claims, including an active §1983 complaint. This gap creates compounding legal, safety, and operational risk for the agency and the public it serves.
The opportunity
Asset forfeiture funds are already approved for vehicles and equipment, providing an available, non-tax funding pathway. Federal grant programs including COPS TEP and JAG explicitly list law enforcement fleet telematics as eligible uses, and the recently approved FY2026/27 budget creates an active procurement window to act now.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks its own Emergency Operations Plan, relying on county resources without formal integration, creating continuity and compliance gaps. Recent Police Chief turnover compounds risk, and state assistance eligibility is directly tied to EOP documentation and review compliance.
The opportunity
EOP compliance mandates tied to state assistance eligibility create a near-term regulatory driver for action, and HSGP funding aligns well with emergency preparedness initiatives. Addressing gaps now reduces operational liability, supports leadership continuity, and positions the Village for available grant reimbursement.
Web Accessibility & ADA/WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department's WordPress-based web presence has identified ADA/WCAG compliance gaps that create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services. Compliance mandates with deadlines in the 2026–2027 timeframe require timely remediation to avoid liability and ensure digital inclusion.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance deadline establishes a defined procurement window, allowing remediation to be staged by severity and aligned with current budget cycles. Acting now reduces legal risk, improves public-facing service delivery, and positions the department to meet mandates before enforcement exposure increases.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Foundational IT management gaps—including limited software investment and underdeveloped infrastructure—pose risks to operational continuity and security posture. A documented shared-account and password governance incident underscores the urgency of establishing standardized endpoint and access management practices.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026/27 budget opens an active procurement window, and asset forfeiture funds designated for technology—alongside grant programs such as COPS TEP, JAG, and HSGP—provide eligible funding pathways. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance and operational risk ahead of a January 2026 password security mandate.
