Emergency Operations Plan Development & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available municipal Emergency Operations Plan and has no local mass-notification platform, creating significant preparedness gaps. NIMS compliance is mandated for federal preparedness fund eligibility, placing the Village at operational and financial risk without immediate action.
The opportunity
The Village's active July–June budget cycle and alignment with multiple federal preparedness grant programs create a near-term window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience. Existing county-level emergency notification participation signals readiness to advance a full, village-level EOP solution eligible for state and federal funding.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks a municipal mass-notification enrollment or local alert platform, leaving residents and staff without a reliable emergency communication channel. This gap, identified alongside a missing village-level EOP, creates measurable preparedness and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
Active participation in the county's multi-channel notification initiative signals readiness to formalize this capability now. Grant funding is aligned, the Village's budget cycle is open, and formalizing enrollment strengthens NIMS compliance, federal funding eligibility, and resident safety outcomes.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates multiple rolling stock assets, including recently acquired vehicles, with no documented telematics solution in place. This gap limits fleet visibility, driver behavior oversight, and asset lifecycle management — increasing operational risk and reducing accountability for publicly owned equipment.
The opportunity
Capital and equipment purchases are budget-approved for the 2026–2027 fiscal cycle, creating a defined near-term procurement window. Cooperative purchasing agreements are already in place, streamlining acquisition and enabling the Village to act efficiently within its current budget authority.
