Close Emergency Preparedness Gaps with Village-Level EOP & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a Village-operated mass notification system, and documented formal exercises — relying entirely on county infrastructure for resident alerts. Recent severe weather declarations and NIMS preparedness compliance requirements elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Active FEMA grant programs (including HSGP and BRIC) offer eligible funding paths for emergency management technology, and the Village's dedicated public safety tech budget supports a near-term procurement case. Addressing these gaps now reduces compliance exposure and strengthens independent response capacity ahead of the next severe weather season.

Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has a formal commitment to WCAG 2.1 Level AA website accessibility with a compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, and an active procurement for a new website vendor is already underway. Failure to meet accessibility standards creates legal exposure and limits equitable resident access to public services and information.
The opportunity
An active vendor procurement and fiscal year-end deadline of June 30 create a near-term decision window aligned with the current budget cycle. Addressing compliance now reduces legal risk, supports equitable public access, and positions the Village to meet its 2028 mandate ahead of schedule.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces a state-mandated cybersecurity compliance deadline of 2026 with no identified enterprise security tooling currently in place. Password security has been flagged as a specific gap, leaving municipal systems and resident data exposed to preventable risk.
The opportunity
The 2026 deadline creates a defined, near-term window to act within the current budget cycle before compliance risk escalates. A cost-effective, greenfield implementation is achievable given the Village's modest IT environment, and solutions in this space may align with cooperative procurement vehicles already available to the Village.

Fleet Management · Public Works
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates a municipal fleet valued at approximately $349,898 but lacks any documented dashcam or telematics program, creating gaps in incident documentation and liability defense. With fleet replacement already a funded capital initiative, the absence of vehicle monitoring tools elevates operational and risk-pool exposure.
The opportunity
An active Capital Improvement Plan and funded fleet replacement cycle create a timely, natural entry point to integrate telematics and safety monitoring without requiring new budget authorization. Addressing this now strengthens liability defense, supports risk pool compliance, and aligns with the Village's current capital planning priorities.
