Emergency Operations Plan Development and Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly posted Village-level EOP and relies on county-level mass notification, leaving critical preparedness gaps amid active dam and flood infrastructure risks and recent declared emergencies. NIMS implementation and EOP review are compliance mandates with direct consequences including loss of federal and state preparedness funding.
The opportunity
The recently adopted FY 2026–2027 budget creates an immediate funding window, and BRIC NOFO and COPS TEP grant deadlines in July 2026 offer near-term alignment for eligible preparedness investments. Acting now reduces compliance exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the Village to secure available state and federal funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently depends on county-level mass notification with no dedicated local system, limiting autonomous emergency communication during declared disasters, floods, or dam-related incidents. This gap elevates operational risk and threatens compliance with NIMS and federal preparedness funding requirements.
The opportunity
The new FY2026–2027 budget window and COPS TEP grant eligibility create a timely, low-barrier path to close this critical communication gap. Acting now strengthens resident safety, supports NIMS compliance, and positions the Village to retain federal preparedness funding.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village's public-facing digital portal does not fully meet WCAG/ADA accessibility standards, creating compliance exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. Addressing these gaps is a defined legal requirement, and inaction risks complaints, remediation costs, and reputational harm.
The opportunity
Accessibility improvements can be layered onto the existing website platform, reducing implementation complexity and cost during the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now supports compliance, broadens equitable service delivery, and may align with state digital equity funding opportunities.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks identified endpoint management and cybersecurity solutions, leaving devices, credentials, and sensitive data without a structured security baseline. This gap elevates operational and compliance risk, particularly as cyber threats targeting local governments continue to increase.
The opportunity
The COPS TEP grant deadline of July 2026 provides a near-term funding window explicitly aligned with endpoint and credential security solutions, reducing the local cost burden. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the Village to close critical security gaps while maximizing available grant resources.
