Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works
High Priority
About this project
The village has added new fleet vehicles without documented in-cab video or telematics capabilities, creating liability exposure and maintenance cost pressure despite an existing accident policy. A board-approved 6-year Capital Improvement Plan with dedicated fleet and DPW line items provides budget-backed justification to close this gap.
The opportunity
An active fleet capital expenditure cycle and increased DPW appropriations create a near-term budget decision window aligned with FY26 planning. The FY26 COPS Technology and Equipment Program offers a potential funding path, and cooperative purchasing may further streamline procurement.

Emergency Management · Compliance & Risk Mitigation
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, documented HSEEP-style exercises, and a clear village-level mass-notification contract, creating significant operational and compliance exposure. These gaps elevate NIMS non-compliance risk ahead of a 2026–2027 regulatory deadline, leaving residents and staff without a formalized emergency response framework.
The opportunity
NIMS compliance deadlines in 2026–2027 create near-term regulatory urgency, while active HSGP and BRIC grant programs with July 2026 deadlines offer viable funding paths for emergency management improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the village to close preparedness gaps, reduce liability, and strengthen community resilience with available external funding support.
Establish Village-Level Mass Notification & Emergency Alerting
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends on county-administered emergency alert services without a direct contract or governance structure, creating a critical gap in independent communication capability. This dependency, combined with the absence of a village-owned Emergency Operations Plan and unmet NIMS compliance mandates, elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant programs with deadlines approaching July 2026 offer a funded pathway to establish village-controlled alerting infrastructure with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window addresses NIMS compliance, closes the mass-notification governance gap, and strengthens direct emergency communication for residents and staff.
ADA Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The village faces an active mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 conformance for its public-facing website, with a compliance deadline in 2026–2027. Failure to meet this requirement creates legal exposure and limits equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 compliance deadline and an approved budget line item for computer system upgrades create a defined funding window and decision timeline. Acting now allows the village to remediate accessibility gaps, reduce liability, and ensure public services remain inclusive and compliant.
