Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a documented, Village-level Emergency Operations Plan, has no recorded exercises, and faces active compliance mandates tied to NIMS implementation and local EOP review cycles. Recent emergency declarations highlight the operational risk this gap poses to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program provides a clear funding pathway for EOP development and NIMS compliance efforts, with limited local match typically required. Acting within the current grant cycle aligns with the Village's participation in county-level hazard mitigation planning and reduces compounding compliance and response risk.
Mass Notification System Local Integration
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village relies on a county-level mass notification system without documented local integration, creating gaps in independent incident response and emergency communication. Absent a formalized local capability, the Village faces operational risk and potential non-compliance with NIMS implementation and EOP review requirements.
The opportunity
Active grant programs, including Homeland Security Grant Program funding, provide a viable path to establish locally controlled notification capabilities with limited local match. Formalizing this integration now strengthens emergency preparedness, supports NIMS compliance, and reduces reliance on county coordination during time-critical incidents.
DPW Fleet Visibility & Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Village's Department of Public Works fleet lacks real-time visibility and has documented reporting gaps, limiting operational oversight and creating measurable safety risks for staff and the public. Without telematics and structured fleet data, the Village cannot effectively monitor asset utilization, driver safety, or maintenance compliance.
The opportunity
Addressing fleet visibility gaps aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and may qualify for public safety or infrastructure-adjacent funding streams available to municipal governments. Closing these gaps now reduces liability exposure, improves service delivery accountability, and supports responsible stewardship of public assets.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village's fragmented IT environment—including use of consumer-grade email and unmanaged cloud storage for public documents—signals critical gaps in endpoint oversight and credential security. These exposures elevate the risk of data breach, unauthorized access, and loss of public trust.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs explicitly support foundational cybersecurity initiatives, offering viable funding paths with reduced local match burden. Acting within the current grant cycle allows the Village to close high-priority security gaps while aligning with fiscal planning and procurement thresholds.
Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Services Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing digital services, including an online utility payment portal, may contain accessibility gaps that conflict with ADA requirements, creating legal exposure and inequitable resident access. MDOT ADA upgrade activity signals active compliance scrutiny of public digital infrastructure in the region.
The opportunity
The Fire Equipment Grant Program and MDOT ADA funding may free up local budget capacity to address web accessibility improvements within the current fiscal cycle. Closing compliance gaps now reduces legal risk, broadens equitable service access, and positions the Village for broader ADA-compliant digital service delivery.
