Emergency Operations Plan & Public Alerting Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly posted EOP and has critical public alerting discoverability gaps, yielding a high Emergency Preparedness Gap score. These deficiencies create NIMS compliance exposure and funding compliance risks, leaving residents vulnerable during severe weather or public safety events.
The opportunity
The active St. Joseph County Hazard Mitigation Plan update and two matched grant opportunities — BRIC and HSGP — create a well-aligned, near-term funding window. Concurrent leadership transitions open a timely decision point to advance EOP currency, close compliance gaps, and strengthen community resilience.
Closing the Fleet Safety & Telematics Gap
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Village has not deployed telematics or dashcam systems across its public fleet, leaving a significant and unmitigated safety gap. A single incident without this documentation and oversight capability could generate substantial financial and liability exposure for the municipality.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions in key public safety roles create a near-term window for advancing fleet safety decisions. Cooperative purchasing programs may streamline procurement, and grant funding with potential fleet safety eligibility aligns with the current planning cycle.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing digital portals and CMS present identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable resident access. Remediation is a non-discretionary mandate, not a discretionary budget decision, elevating urgency for action.
The opportunity
Compliance-driven projects like this are well-positioned for current state and federal funding programs and align with upcoming fiscal planning cycles. Addressing gaps now reduces legal risk, improves service equity, and leverages the Village's existing digital ecosystem for efficient remediation.
MiDEAL
Discuss this project →Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture and Identity Controls
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's MITPA mandates place cybersecurity among the top compliance priorities for local governments, yet confirmed identity security and endpoint management controls remain unverified. Gaps in credential and device oversight expose public systems, staff, and resident data to significant operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Leadership transitions create a near-term window for IT governance decisions, and cooperative purchasing programs such as MiDEAL can streamline procurement within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing identity and endpoint gaps now reduces audit exposure and supports compliance with state cybersecurity mandates.
