Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a local mass notification system — relying instead on county-level infrastructure. Compliance mandates requiring NIMS integration and HSEEP alignment create compounding regulatory and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Named grant opportunities with upcoming deadlines provide viable funding paths for emergency communications and preparedness equipment, and the adopted FY2026–2027 budget signals financial readiness to act. Addressing critical preparedness gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens community-level emergency response outcomes.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent collision involving a Village fire engine has exposed active safety gaps in fleet operations, underscoring the need for dash cameras and telematics to monitor driver behavior and support post-incident documentation. The FY 2026–2027 budget includes a funded DPW equipment line, creating a clear mandate and financial pathway to act.
The opportunity
With a funded budget line already adopted and identified grants—including JAG and TEP—aligned to fleet safety and telematics, the timing to advance this initiative is highly favorable. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational liability, strengthens driver accountability, and positions the Village to leverage cooperative purchasing for a streamlined, compliant procurement process.
Police Department IT Modernization & Public Safety Procurement
Public Safety · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The adopted 2026–2027 budget authorizes specific Police Department technology purchases, including computers, software, and licenses, signaling active procurement readiness. A concurrent leadership transition introduces potential shifts in operational and technology priorities that may affect project scope and timelines.
The opportunity
With budget authority confirmed and a new Village Manager onboarding by June 2026, the current fiscal window presents a near-term opportunity to advance approved IT investments and align emerging priorities. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden for eligible acquisitions.
