Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Safety · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
A recent, high-visibility incident involving a struck fire apparatus has exposed a critical gap in fleet safety coverage, with no dashcam or telematics systems currently in place. Public scrutiny and active capital planning cycles underscore the urgency of addressing this operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
The 2026 Capital Improvement Plan approval and active budget cycle create a near-term funding window, with grant programs such as JAG and HSGP carrying July 2026 deadlines that directly align with fleet safety initiatives. Acting now reduces liability exposure, strengthens public trust, and leverages available funding before the window closes.
Establish Village-Level Emergency Operations Capability
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and local mass notification contingency — relying entirely on county infrastructure now strained by a vacant county EM Coordinator role. These compounding gaps elevate operational and coordination risk for residents and first responders.
The opportunity
Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funding with a July 2026 deadline provides a direct, time-sensitive path to address these preparedness deficiencies with limited local match required. Acting now aligns with active budget cycles, reduces coordination risk, and positions the village to meet emergency management standards independently.
Mass Notification Modernization for Local Control
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends on a county-wide mass notification arrangement with no local contingency, limiting independent control over resident and staff communications during incidents. An upcoming contract renewal creates a critical decision point to address this operational gap before the next emergency season.
The opportunity
Contract renewal timing aligns with the village's active 2026–2027 budget cycle and available grant programs supporting emergency preparedness, offering a cost-effective path to locally controlled notification capability. Acting now reduces communication risk, supports EOP compliance, and positions the village for greater operational resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's current website does not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. A parallel initiative to digitize invoices and records signals broader gaps in accessible, standards-compliant digital infrastructure.
The opportunity
The active 2026–2027 operating budget cycle and an established digital modernization initiative indicate organizational readiness and potential funding alignment. Addressing accessibility compliance now reduces legal risk and supports equitable service delivery for all residents.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks confirmed enterprise IT security or endpoint management solutions, creating likely gaps in credential security and device oversight across municipal and law enforcement operations. With minimal documented IT spend, the risk of unmanaged endpoints and compromised credentials poses a direct threat to operational continuity and public safety data integrity.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding with a July 2026 deadline directly supports IT and cybersecurity investments for law enforcement, offering a low-barrier, funded entry point. Acting within the current grant window and active budget cycle positions the village to close critical security gaps while maximizing available public funding.
