Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Program Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Oakley lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan, a designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and independent mass notification capability—creating significant operational and compliance gaps. NIMS implementation requirements and state EOP review mandates elevate risk for residents and staff without immediate corrective action.
The opportunity
Two federal grants with July 2026 deadlines offer a near-term funding path for preparedness initiatives, and the recently adopted FY2026–2027 budget opens an immediate procurement window. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and positions the village to leverage available funding before the cycle closes.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Historical liability and insurance issues tied to police fleet operations, combined with the documented sale of damaged equipment, point to gaps in asset oversight and fleet safety practices. These deficiencies elevate operational and financial risk for the Village at a time of heightened public scrutiny over public safety spending.
The opportunity
Two federal grant opportunities with July 2026 deadlines explicitly support technology purchases applicable to fleet safety, and the recently adopted FY2026–2027 budget creates an immediate funding window. Acting now positions the Village to reduce liability exposure and demonstrate responsible stewardship ahead of a November 2026 public safety ballot decision.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village of Oakley lacks a dedicated mass notification system, relying on county infrastructure that limits direct municipal control during emergencies. The county's own split notification stack compounds this gap, creating coordination risk and NIMS compliance exposure for both entities.
The opportunity
Federal grant deadlines in July 2026 and a recently adopted municipal budget create a timely funding window for this initiative. Consolidating notification capabilities now reduces operational risk, supports EOP compliance, and is eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles that streamline the path to award.
