Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Infrastructure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a formal Emergency Operations Plan, a dedicated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a unified mass notification system. Recent county flooding highlights these gaps, while NIMS compliance requirements and overdue EOP review obligations elevate both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with near-term deadlines align directly with emergency preparedness infrastructure, offering viable funding paths with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses critical compliance gaps and strengthens the Village's capacity to protect residents during emergencies.
Mass Notification System Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently operates two separate mass notification platforms, creating fragmented emergency communications that increase administrative burden and risk of alerting failures. Without a unified system or a formal Emergency Operations Plan, residents and staff face elevated risk during severe weather and other emergencies.
The opportunity
Active grant programs aligned with emergency preparedness — including homeland security and justice assistance funding — support consolidation efforts with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal and grant cycle reduces procurement costs, closes a critical communications gap, and strengthens community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing website and hosted PDF library contain accessibility gaps that conflict with federal ADA mandates, exposing the municipality to legal and reputational risk. With a compliance deadline of 2026–2027, both platform-level and document-level remediation must be addressed to ensure equitable public access.
The opportunity
The defined 2026–2027 regulatory deadline creates a clear procurement window aligned with the current budget cycle, making now the right time to plan and fund remediation. Proactive action reduces legal liability, supports equitable service delivery, and may align with available state or cooperative funding mechanisms.

Fleet Safety · Municipal Liability
High Priority
About this project
The Village has experienced recurring patrol cruiser collisions and lacks documented telematics or in-vehicle video capabilities, increasing municipal liability exposure. Without these tools, incident documentation, driver behavior monitoring, and risk mitigation remain critically limited.
The opportunity
Safety urgency and available grant funding — including COPS TEP, HSGP, JAG, and BRIC — create a strong near-term case for action ahead of the FY 2026–27 budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles can streamline procurement, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment.
