Village-Level Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Compliance & Grant Readiness
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Mesick lacks a village-level EOP and relies on county mass notification that may leave residents underserved during emergencies. NIMS implementation and CEO-signed EOPs are active compliance mandates, with non-compliance risking loss of federal and state preparedness funding.
The opportunity
FEMA grant programs (BRIC, HMGP) offer a clear funding path with the 2026–2027 budget cycle setting a near-term decision window. New leadership transitions and the county's active Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan create a timely opening to close preparedness gaps and protect funding eligibility.
Mass Notification Autonomy for Local Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends on county-administered mass notification, creating coverage gaps and limiting local control during emergencies. This documented deficiency conflicts with NIMS compliance requirements and puts federal and state preparedness funding at risk if left unaddressed.
The opportunity
BRIC and HMGP grant programs offer viable funding paths for local mass notification infrastructure, often with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant cycle and FY planning window strengthens compliance posture, closes a documented preparedness gap, and preserves access to ongoing federal and state emergency management funds.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's current web infrastructure relies on basic hosting and static PDFs, creating a documented gap in accessible, structured digital content delivery required under federal ADA/WCAG 2.1 standards. Without a compliant solution, the village faces legal exposure and fails to meet equitable public access obligations for residents.
The opportunity
With a 2026–2027 budget cycle approaching and no compliant solution currently in place, this greenfield environment is well-positioned for a phased implementation potentially supported by state or federal funding. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances the village's digital transparency priorities, and ensures equitable resident access to public information.

Discuss this project →Closing the Municipal Cybersecurity Password Management Gap
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village currently lacks an enterprise password management solution, leaving municipal systems and sensitive data exposed to credential-based threats. Without documented controls in place, the organization faces growing liability exposure and operational risk across all departments reliant on shared or unmanaged credentials.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding offers a viable path to address this gap with limited impact on a tight municipal budget, and the absence of existing solutions means implementation can move forward without displacement of incumbent tools. Acting within the current fiscal planning window positions the village to reduce liability and strengthen its overall security posture.
Fleet Telematics & Asset Management Modernization
Fleet Management · Municipal Liability & Risk
High Priority
About this project
The village operates both rented and owned equipment with no telematics, in-vehicle video, or documented fleet risk controls, creating significant municipal liability and litigation exposure. The Fuller Project infrastructure initiative is the top strategic priority and is expected to increase fleet activity, amplifying the urgency for asset visibility and risk management.
The opportunity
A greenfield environment means implementation requires no displacement of existing systems, and JAG and BRIC grant programs offer potential funding pathways with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal window aligns with capital and public works budget activity and positions the village ahead of infrastructure-driven fleet demand.
