Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a local Emergency Operations Plan, depends on county resources, and has no documented exercises or preparedness grants. A recent regional flooding emergency and NIMS compliance mandates have elevated operational and regulatory risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A recent state-of-emergency declaration creates a strong near-term signal for investment, with Homeland Security Grant Program funding available for emergency management and mass notification initiatives. Acting now aligns with FEMA Hazard Mitigation participation, addresses fragmented county-wide notification systems, and supports incoming leadership priorities.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The village's public-facing digital portals have identified WCAG/ADA compliance gaps that limit resident access to government services and create legal exposure. Without remediation, the municipality risks civil complaints, potential litigation, and continued inequitable access for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces legal risk and aligns with federal ADA mandates ahead of increasing enforcement activity. Remediation can be staged by severity, making it manageable within current budget cycles and eligible for state digital equity funding.

Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a documented telematics or dashcam program for public works and field vehicles, creating gaps in driver accountability, risk mitigation, and operational visibility. Growing public works demands tied to active redevelopment further strain an unmonitored fleet, elevating liability and service delivery risk.
The opportunity
An active Capital Improvement Plan signals available budget authority for fleet-related investments, and cooperative purchasing programs may streamline procurement timelines. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces operational risk and positions the village to meet growing public works demands responsibly.
