Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and a designated local Emergency Management Coordinator, creating significant compliance and operational risk. NIMS implementation is federally mandated, and non-compliance jeopardizes eligibility for federal funding and disaster assistance—risks underscored by recent severe weather declarations.
The opportunity
BRIC grant funding with a July 2026 deadline directly supports emergency preparedness initiatives, reducing the local financial burden. A new General Manager hire and active preparedness discussions create a near-term window to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience before the next fiscal cycle.
Village-Level Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently lacks a unified mass notification system, relying on manual methods and county-level infrastructure without local control. Active internal discussions and recent severe weather declarations highlight the operational and compliance risk of this gap for residents and staff.
The opportunity
A county-level mass notification initiative and a near-term buying window create strong momentum for a village-level solution. BRIC grant funding may offset costs, and alignment with EOP and NIMS compliance mandates makes action this fiscal cycle both timely and fiscally responsible.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village lacks documented enterprise password management and endpoint security controls, leaving critical systems exposed to cyber threats. With cyber insurance renewal approaching in April 2027, unaddressed tooling gaps present escalating financial and operational risk to public services.
The opportunity
Grant opportunities with deadlines as early as July 2026 offer a near-term funding pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, reducing reliance on general fund dollars. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the village ahead of its insurance renewal and strengthens its security posture before the deadline.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Document Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village website and hosted documents show likely gaps in WCAG and ADA accessibility standards, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access. The absence of a structured document management approach compounds compliance risk and limits reliable digital service delivery to residents.
The opportunity
A congressional appropriations request of $3–3.6M for community center rehabilitation includes safety and accessibility components, signaling capital that may support remediation efforts. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses compliance mandates, reduces legal risk, and improves equitable access for all residents.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village faces operational safety risks from limited in-vehicle video coverage and telematics data, alongside documented fleet maintenance shortfalls. These gaps reduce accountability, complicate incident response, and elevate liability exposure for public works operations.
The opportunity
Active fleet investment and grant opportunities with deadlines approaching in mid-2026 create a timely window to address safety and maintenance gaps. Cooperative purchasing programs can streamline procurement, and eligible funding may offset local costs within the current planning cycle.

Infrastructure Modernization · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The village has approved over $400,000 in infrastructure projects and submitted a $3–3.6M federal appropriations request for community center rehabilitation covering safety and accessibility needs. Critical emergency preparedness gaps—including no posted EOP, no local EM Coordinator, and reliance on county-level mass notification—elevate compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
Approved capital budgets, a pending federal appropriations request, and near-term grant windows create strong near-term funding alignment for safety, accessibility, and emergency preparedness investments. New village leadership presents a timely opportunity to advance compliance mandates and close operational gaps before the upcoming fiscal cycle.
