Emergency Operations Plan Development and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a published EOP, has undocumented emergency management staffing, and an unverified mass notification capability — gaps made tangible by a recent wastewater overflow incident. NIMS compliance is mandated, and failure to meet requirements risks loss of federal and state preparedness funding.
The opportunity
The FY 2026–2027 budget includes approved technology upgrade funds, and HSGP and BRIC grants are available for alert, warning, and interoperability systems. Acting now aligns procurement with active funding windows and a leadership transition that signals openness to new initiatives.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village's current mass notification system has unknown capability and resiliency, creating meaningful gaps in emergency communications during critical incidents. Combined with the absence of a published Village-level EOP and NIMS compliance requirements, the risk to residents and staff is significant.
The opportunity
Approved FY 2026-2027 budget authority and available Homeland Security Grant Program funding—explicitly covering alert and warning capabilities—create a strong near-term procurement window. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, closes preparedness gaps, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline acquisition.
Financial & Administrative Systems Modernization
IT Modernization · Public Finance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has an active, funded initiative to modernize financial and administrative systems, including software implementation and online utility payments. Aging platforms create operational inefficiencies and service delivery gaps for residents and staff, with FY 2026–2027 budget allocations already designated for technology upgrades.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget and Finance Committee authorization create a near-term procurement window for modernization investments. Acting within this cycle ensures funds are deployed efficiently, reduces administrative risk, and improves resident-facing services before the window closes.

IT Modernization · Digital Governance
High Priority
About this project
The Village is transitioning toward paperless governance workflows, including electronic council packets and member tablets, while current web infrastructure signals room for modernization. Without a cohesive digital strategy, operational efficiency, public accessibility, and long-term maintainability remain at risk.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 technology upgrade budget and an active leadership transition create a timely window to advance digital collaboration and citizen-facing solutions. Acting now aligns procurement with approved funding cycles and positions the Village for improved service delivery and governance transparency.

Discuss this project →Endpoint Security and Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks documented endpoint management and credential security controls, creating identifiable gaps in its cybersecurity posture. As digital services and administrative systems expand, unmanaged devices and weak access controls elevate the risk of data breaches and service disruption for residents and staff.
The opportunity
The recently approved FY 2026–2027 technology budget and an active leadership transition create a near-term window to prioritize foundational IT security investments. Addressing these gaps now supports operational continuity, aligns with emerging cybersecurity compliance expectations, and positions the Village to steward public data responsibly.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics and Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village's fleet telematics coverage is limited, with monitoring largely confined to police body cameras and leaving broader municipal vehicles without safety oversight. A documented vehicle and equipment damage incident signals an unmet need for comprehensive driver safety and fleet monitoring capabilities.
The opportunity
With FY 2026–2027 budgets recently approved and technology upgrades already prioritized, the current planning cycle offers a timely window to address fleet safety gaps. Cooperative purchasing pathways are available to streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden for local government staff.
