Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly posted EOP and standalone mass alert system, relying solely on county-level emergency management—creating staffing continuity risk. Recent flash flooding, a state emergency declaration, and EOP/NIMS compliance mandates make this an immediate operational and regulatory priority.
The opportunity
Recent severe weather events and an active state emergency declaration create strong urgency to act within the current fiscal cycle. BRIC and other federal preparedness funding streams are available, and a coordinated village-county deployment approach could broaden impact while maximizing limited local resources.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has an active website redevelopment project under contract, with identified gaps in document, PDF, and broader site accessibility. ADA/WCAG compliance mandates carry a 2026–2027 deadline, creating measurable legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access.
The opportunity
The in-flight website redevelopment creates an immediate window to embed accessibility compliance before the 2026–2027 deadline. Acting now avoids costly retrofits, reduces legal risk, and ensures digital services are equitably accessible to all residents. Annual CIP and budget cycles support near-term procurement alignment.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village has identified gaps in telematics and dash camera coverage across its fleet, increasing exposure to disputed liability claims and deferred maintenance risks. The Baraga County Hazard Mitigation Plan reinforces transportation resilience as a priority, making this a proactive but time-relevant risk mitigation need.
The opportunity
Federal law enforcement technology funding for the upcoming fiscal year directly supports in-vehicle telematics acquisition, offering a strong and accessible funding path. Acting within the current grant window allows the Village to reduce operational risk, strengthen fleet accountability, and align procurement with cooperative purchasing agreements already in place.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & IT Baseline Hardening
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks an identified cybersecurity stack, leaving critical systems and communications infrastructure exposed. Compliance mandates require baseline cybersecurity and password security practices, and ongoing IT and communications procurements signal a growing and unaddressed security risk.
The opportunity
DOJ COPS FY2026 TEP and JAG program funding directly support IT and cybersecurity purchases, creating a strong alignment with current grant cycles. With no incumbent solution in place, the Village can establish a compliant, resilient security baseline now while leveraging available federal funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Website Hosting & CMS Modernization
IT Modernization · Digital Services
High Priority
About this project
The Village has an active website redevelopment contract and an existing CMS relationship flagged for expansion or upgrade, signaling ongoing investment in digital infrastructure. Without modernized hosting and CMS capabilities, the entity risks accessibility compliance gaps—including ADA/WCAG mandates with approaching deadlines—and degraded public-facing service delivery.
The opportunity
The in-flight website redevelopment contract creates an immediate, time-sensitive window to align hosting and CMS modernization within the current project scope and annual CIP budget cycle. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, simplifying procurement and enabling faster, cost-effective contracting without a full competitive bid process.
