Municipal Website Modernization & Accessibility Compliance
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village's public web presence is fragmented across multiple service providers, creating inconsistent accessibility and document compliance gaps across public-facing forms and ordinance content. A firm WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2027 elevates legal and operational risk for residents and staff alike.
The opportunity
Dedicated FY2026–27 budget is already allocated for a new city website, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to streamline procurement. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance readiness ahead of the April 2027 deadline while maximizing the value of committed public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Hillcrest Village has no city-specific mass-notification platform, relying instead on regional and county-level systems, with no publicly documented Emergency Operations Plan. A prior hazardous materials incident highlights the operational and life-safety risks of these gaps for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FY2026-27 budget allocations are active, a MITMOD Grant Proposal is in progress, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are in place to streamline procurement. Consolidating alerting capabilities now reduces response risk, strengthens continuity planning, and positions the city to act within the current funding cycle.

Court Technology · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village has an active initiative to select and implement a municipal court software solution, with a decision deadline of August 2026 and no incumbent system in place. Dedicated FY2026-27 budget has been confirmed, and the absence of a current platform creates operational and compliance risk for court administration.
The opportunity
The August 2026 decision deadline makes this the most time-sensitive procurement in the current portfolio, with budget already confirmed for the upcoming fiscal year. Justice Assistance Grant funding may offset costs, and available cooperative purchasing vehicles can reduce administrative burden and accelerate award.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Compliance & Credential Management Remediation
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village faces an active cybersecurity incident reporting mandate with no credential management system in place, creating a direct and unmitigated compliance gap. With a confirmed but limited IT spend, the current environment lacks foundational security controls, elevating risk to municipal operations and sensitive public data.
The opportunity
Compliance urgency is high, and the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant offers a potential funding pathway for eligible criminal-justice IT components. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes the compliance gap, reduces operational risk, and positions the village for sustainable security posture.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Maintenance Tracking
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent police vehicle camera procurement and brake service activity signal an emerging need for structured telematics and preventive maintenance tracking. Without a dedicated solution, fleet oversight gaps may increase operational risk, liability exposure, and unplanned maintenance costs for public safety vehicles.
The opportunity
No incumbent telematics system is in place, creating a clean entry point for a well-scoped solution aligned with future fleet budget cycles. Co-op purchasing vehicles are available, simplifying procurement and enabling leadership to act efficiently when this initiative is prioritized.
