Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village's current website relies on WordPress and PDF-based agendas, creating significant document accessibility gaps that expose the municipality to legal and compliance risk. An active redesign proposal has been tabled, leaving ADA/WCAG obligations unresolved ahead of a firm compliance deadline.
The opportunity
The adopted FY26-27 budget signals readiness to act, and cooperative purchasing vehicles may streamline procurement without a lengthy bid cycle. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal exposure, improves equitable public access, and aligns spending with an active compliance mandate.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available, village-specific Emergency Operations Plan and has no dedicated emergency management coordinator, resulting in a high preparedness gap score. Without local-level EM infrastructure, residents and staff face elevated operational and compliance risk during emergencies.
The opportunity
An active EOP review mandate creates a near-term window for action, and grant funding aligned with emergency management carries deadlines in July 2026. Addressing this gap now strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance requirements, and leverages available funding before the window closes.
Mass Notification Modernization for Independent Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently relies solely on a county-level alert system, with no independent mass notification capability, limiting direct resident communication during emergencies. This gap, combined with the absence of a Village-specific EOP and no dedicated EM coordinator, elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines offer a viable funding path to close this preparedness gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current FY26–27 budget cycle positions the Village to independently communicate with residents and meet EOP compliance expectations.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates with a modest $23,000 annual IT budget and a small technology footprint, creating likely gaps in endpoint visibility and credential security. Without documented controls, even limited infrastructure carries meaningful risk of unauthorized access or service disruption.
The opportunity
Grant opportunities aligned with municipal cybersecurity carry deadlines in July 2026, offering a near-term funding path with limited local match required. Acting within the active FY26–27 budget cycle positions the Village to close security gaps before they become operational or compliance liabilities.
Modernize Fleet Safety with Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks fleet telematics or incident monitoring across its public works equipment, creating untracked operational and liability exposure. Without visibility into vehicle behavior or incident data, proactive risk management and driver safety improvements remain out of reach.
The opportunity
An active DPW equipment budget line and the upcoming fiscal cycle create a timely opening to deploy fleet safety tools without new appropriations. Cooperative purchasing agreements may simplify procurement and reduce administrative burden, enabling faster implementation within existing thresholds.
