Emergency Operations Plan Modernization & NIMS Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village's Emergency Operations Plan has not been updated since 2015, with no documented exercises, After Action Reviews, or confirmed mass-notification capabilities on record. These gaps represent a critical compliance failure under NIMS mandates and expose the community to significant operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
The February capital budget inclusion window creates an immediate planning milestone, and federal grant programs such as HSGP and JAG/COPS TEP offer viable funding paths with limited local match requirements. Addressing these overdue mandates now reduces liability, strengthens community resilience, and positions the Village ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a known, current mass notification system, creating significant risk for timely resident outreach during emergencies. This gap compounds existing emergency preparedness deficiencies, including an outdated EOP, and elevates operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
This initiative is a named priority in the Village's Strategic Action Plan, signaling leadership alignment and near-term procurement intent. Homeland Security and emergency management grant programs offer eligible funding pathways, and the upcoming capital budget cycle presents a clear window to act.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces a clear WCAG/ADA compliance mandate with a 2026–2027 deadline, and identified accessibility gaps in current digital portals create legal exposure and limit equitable resident access. A Strategic Action Plan initiative calls for a full website redesign incorporating accessibility standards within 12 months.
The opportunity
The Capital Improvement Plan is actively being finalized for 2026–2027, and the February budget inclusion window for capital projects creates a near-term fiscal alignment point. Acting now positions the Village to meet compliance deadlines, reduce legal risk, and improve digital service delivery for all residents.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village faces active litigation exposure tied to a police vehicle incident, with no confirmed fleet safety monitoring or verifiable evidence collection capability in place. Outdated insurance records and the absence of real-time vehicle data create compounding legal and operational risk for public works and public safety operations.
The opportunity
Approved DPW equipment acquisition funding and available cooperative purchasing agreements create an immediate, low-friction procurement path. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces litigation risk, strengthens driver accountability, and positions the Village for potential Homeland Security grant alignment.
