Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Governance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, has limited after-action review documentation, and faces governance and contract exposure in its mass notification system. Recent severe weather events and statewide flooding have heightened public scrutiny, while an active compliance mandate for EOP review elevates operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP and BRIC grant cycles with upcoming deadlines are directly aligned to this initiative, offering a funding pathway with limited local match required. Acting now — alongside the county Hazard Mitigation Plan update — positions the village to close compliance gaps, unify notification systems, and strengthen community resilience.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village faces a concrete ADA/WCAG 2.1 compliance mandate across its public-facing digital properties, with a 2026–2027 deadline. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and restrict equitable resident access to essential government services and information.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance window makes this the most near-term, time-sensitive initiative on the village's digital agenda. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows time for remediation, testing, and validation before the deadline. Cooperative purchasing vehicles and state or federal accessibility funding may reduce the local cost burden.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The theft of a marked police SUV containing firearms exposed critical gaps in fleet monitoring and vehicle security, creating immediate public safety and financial risk. With no existing fleet telematics solution and a constrained fiscal environment, the cost of future asset loss is difficult to absorb.
The opportunity
The high-visibility nature of this incident has elevated leadership urgency, creating a timely window to act before the next fiscal cycle closes. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement and reduce upfront costs, making this an actionable priority even under budget pressure.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The absence of an enterprise credential management solution, combined with reliance on fragmented local managed service providers, creates measurable gaps in the village's security posture. This exposes critical infrastructure and sensitive data to unauthorized access, elevating operational and compliance risk across departments.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding explicitly supports cybersecurity initiatives, offering a grant-eligible path to address these gaps with limited local budget impact. Acting within the current grant window aligns with fiscal planning cycles and reduces infrastructure exposure before it becomes a liability.
