Emergency Operations Plan & NIMS Compliance Implementation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village has no public-facing Emergency Operations Plan, no documented exercises or audits, and relies on county-level mass notification rather than a dedicated village system. Explicit mandates to complete an EOP review and implement NIMS create immediate compliance and operational risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Grant closeout deadlines in September 2026, alongside approved public safety millage funding and aligned federal grant programs, create a near-term window to close preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle strengthens community resilience, satisfies compliance mandates, and maximizes available funding with limited local match required.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently depends on county-level mass notification infrastructure rather than a dedicated municipal system, limiting direct control over resident communications during emergencies. Identified gaps in village-level EOP documentation, NIMS compliance, and two-way resident communication channels elevate operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines in September 2026—including programs aligned with emergency management and public safety technology—create a defined procurement window. A leadership transition and active budget cycle, supported by approved public safety funding mechanisms, position the village to act decisively and advance mission-critical communication capabilities.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Public Works Vehicle Safety
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village currently lacks dashcam and telematics solutions, leaving municipal vehicles without visibility or incident documentation and increasing exposure to insurance claims. The funded 2026 MDOT Streets and Downtown Improvement Project will significantly expand fleet activity, making this gap more operationally and financially consequential.
The opportunity
The active MDOT project provides a funded, time-bound operational context that justifies fleet safety investment now, ahead of increased public works activity. Cooperative purchasing agreements are available to simplify procurement, and the initiative aligns with the current budget cycle and infrastructure planning priorities.

Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village has identified WCAG 2.1 compliance gaps across its public-facing web presence, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Active website updates are underway, making this a timely window to embed accessibility standards before new content is published at scale.
The opportunity
A leadership transition and active website initiative create near-term momentum for prioritizing compliance-driven digital improvements. Addressing accessibility gaps now reduces regulatory risk, supports equitable resident access, and aligns with the current budget and planning cycle.
Cybersecurity and Endpoint Protection Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The village currently lacks enterprise-grade endpoint security and centralized IT management tools, leaving municipal systems and sensitive data exposed. This gap represents measurable operational and compliance risk for staff, residents, and public-facing services.
The opportunity
Near-term grant closeout deadlines in September 2026—including FY26 COPS Technology and Equipment Program and JAG funding—create an actionable window to address these gaps with limited local match. Initiating procurement now aligns with the active budget cycle and available cooperative contract pathways.
