Local Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a formalized local Emergency Operations Plan, a village-specific mass notification system, and documented local exercises, relying instead on county-level emergency management. A Presidential Major Disaster Declaration and NIMS compliance mandates have elevated operational risk and created immediate procurement urgency.
The opportunity
The disaster declaration has opened direct funding pathways through FEMA-aligned programs and SBA disaster loans, while grants such as HSGP and BRIC align closely with emergency preparedness investments. A new Village Manager and active grant windows create a timely opening to formalize local emergency management and reduce community risk.
Mass Notification System Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently has no dedicated mass notification system, leaving a critical gap in its ability to alert residents and staff during emergencies or declared disasters. This absence, combined with a lack of a documented local EOP, elevates both operational and NIMS compliance risk.
The opportunity
A Presidential Major Disaster Declaration creates immediate procurement urgency and unlocks aligned funding through HSGP and BRIC grant programs. Acting within the current fiscal window via cooperative purchasing can accelerate deployment, reduce local match burden, and strengthen community-wide emergency response readiness.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village has identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps across its public-facing digital properties, carrying documented legal exposure and a hard remediation deadline of 2026–2027. Unresolved gaps risk litigation, exclusion of residents with disabilities, and reputational harm to the municipality.
The opportunity
A defined 2026–2027 compliance deadline creates a clear procurement window, and broader digital modernization momentum signals leadership readiness to act. Addressing accessibility now reduces legal risk, improves equitable public access, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks confirmed cybersecurity tooling, creating potential gaps in endpoint visibility, patch management, and access control that expose municipal systems and resident data to risk. Addressing these gaps supports operational continuity and aligns with growing state and federal expectations for local government IT security posture.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) directly supports public safety technology, including IT and security infrastructure, offering a viable funding pathway within the current grant cycle. Acting now leverages existing IT relationships and aligns with FY planning to close visibility and access control gaps before they become audit or incident liabilities.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Technology
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently operates without a fleet telematics or vehicle tracking system, leaving asset utilization, driver safety, and maintenance oversight largely unmonitored. With an active Capital Improvement Plan and ongoing transportation initiatives, the absence of data-driven fleet visibility presents a growing operational and liability gap.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) explicitly supports vehicle-related public safety technology, offering a viable funding pathway with limited local match. New Village leadership and an open CIP cycle create a timely window to establish proactive fleet oversight before operational risks escalate.
