Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and local mass notification capability — gaps underscored by a recent severe weather event. NIMS/EOP alignment is an active compliance mandate, and the preparedness gap score of 95 signals critical operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Two matched grant opportunities — HSGP and BRIC — provide a funded path forward with limited local match required, aligning well with current fiscal planning cycles. Acting now addresses urgent compliance mandates, strengthens community resilience, and positions the Village ahead of the next severe weather season.
Mass Notification Independence & Local Coordination Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village's current reliance on a county-operated mass notification system creates a critical dependency gap, limiting autonomous local alerting and internal coordination during emergencies. With no publicly posted EOP, no documented HSEEP-style exercises, and recent severe weather exposure, NIMS/EOP compliance obligations remain unmet and operational risk is elevated.
The opportunity
Active federal grant windows—including hazard mitigation and preparedness programs—directly support local mass notification and EOP modernization with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the Village to close compliance gaps, establish independent alerting capability, and strengthen community resilience before the next severe weather season.
Fleet Telematics & Preventive Equipment Management
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
A documented $46,000+ DPW tractor motor failure highlights a critical gap in fleet monitoring and preventive maintenance, with no evidence of telematics or onboard camera adoption. Without proactive equipment oversight, public works operations face continued unplanned costs and service delivery risk.
The opportunity
The quantifiable cost of recent equipment failure creates a strong, defensible business case for near-term investment, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement within current budget cycles. Addressing this gap now reduces operational downtime, protects public assets, and supports responsible stewardship of municipal funds.

ADA Compliance · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The Village has unresolved ADA obligations tied to public meetings and no confirmed WCAG conformance for its public-facing website, creating legal exposure and limiting access for residents who rely on digital services. These gaps elevate compliance and reputational risk, particularly during a period of leadership transition.
The opportunity
Remediating accessibility gaps in a phased, severity-tiered approach allows the Village to reduce legal liability while aligning with broader digital service improvements and current fiscal planning cycles. Funding pathways such as CDBG and state accessibility grants may offset remediation costs, supporting equitable public access outcomes.
