IT Vendor Transition & Endpoint Security Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Village's current IT vendor cannot support its unified network, creating an active compliance mandate and significant operational risk. The transition to a new provider introduces an immediate need for endpoint management and credential security to maintain continuity and protect public systems.
The opportunity
With the budget already approved and a vendor transition actively underway, this initiative is positioned for near-term execution within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing endpoint and credential management now reduces security exposure during the transition and ensures uninterrupted service delivery to residents and staff.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces a hard April 2026 deadline to achieve WCAG accessibility compliance for its public-facing digital services. Non-compliance creates legal exposure and inequitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
With the April 2026 deadline within the current fiscal cycle, procurement and implementation must begin now to avoid legal and reputational risk. Budget approval is already in place, making this a highly actionable, compliance-driven initiative with defined urgency and public equity impact.

Discuss this project →Municipal Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and a dedicated municipal mass notification system, relying solely on county-level alerts. These gaps leave residents and staff underserved during emergencies and expose the municipality to compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Active participation in the county hazard mitigation plan and specific EOP planning mandates signal leadership readiness to act, and grant funding is available to support a standalone municipal solution. Addressing this gap now strengthens local response capability, reduces compliance exposure, and aligns with the current budget cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently depends on a county-shared mass notification platform, limiting local control, customization, and reach during emergencies. Without a dedicated municipal system, gaps in timely public alerting elevate operational risk and hinder compliance with emergency preparedness planning requirements.
The opportunity
Leadership has already identified mass notification as a strategic priority, and the current fiscal cycle includes budget-approved emergency management initiatives. Acting now enables the Village to establish independent alerting capability, strengthen EOP compliance, and align with available state and federal funding pathways.

Discuss this project →Police Fleet Video & Evidence Integrity
Public Safety · Fleet Technology
High Priority
About this project
Police vehicles currently lack camera systems with cloud-based integrity controls, creating evidentiary gaps and officer safety risks. Active new vehicle procurement presents a critical integration window before fleet deployment is finalized.
The opportunity
The COPS FY2026 Technology and Equipment Program grant directly supports law enforcement technology acquisitions, with budget already approved for active vehicle procurement. Bundling in-vehicle video and evidence management now maximizes funding alignment and avoids costly retrofits later.

Discuss this project →Fleet Safety & Radio Communications Upgrade
Fleet Safety · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
Aging DPW radios have been flagged as an active safety risk, and police radio encryption gaps represent an unmet procurement need across both public works and law enforcement operations. These deficiencies expose staff to operational hazards and leave critical communications infrastructure vulnerable.
The opportunity
An approved budget cycle and active radio procurement signal near-term decision-making readiness, while CDBG program activity and law enforcement technology grant windows offer viable funding pathways. Addressing these gaps now reduces officer and crew safety risk and strengthens communications resilience across public-facing operations.
