Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan and has no documented NIMS incorporation, creating critical compliance and preparedness gaps. Reliance on a county-level notification system, combined with unmet infrastructure needs—including sirens and backup generators—leaves residents and staff exposed to operational risk.
The opportunity
EOP review and NIMS compliance mandates create a clear, near-term driver for action, aligning with strategic hazard mitigation and resilience initiatives already prioritized by local leadership. Relevant federal grant programs offer viable funding pathways, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure while strengthening community preparedness outcomes.
Fleet Safety & Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The village's aging police vehicle lacks in-vehicle evidence capabilities such as dashcams and telemetry, and no fleet safety technology is currently in place. An active police vehicle procurement creates an immediate window to address these gaps before the opportunity closes.
The opportunity
A voter-approved capital millage provides dedicated funding for infrastructure and fleet upgrades, and cooperative purchasing offers a streamlined, compliant procurement path. Acting during the current vehicle procurement cycle maximizes cost efficiency and reduces liability exposure for the village.
Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The village's recently launched public-facing website and associated digital properties carry active WCAG/ADA obligations, including document accessibility and PDF/form workflows. Non-compliance exposes the municipality to legal liability and creates barriers to equitable resident access to government services.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility early in a new site's lifecycle is significantly more cost-effective than retroactive remediation, and this project aligns with current fiscal-year planning cycles. Proactive compliance reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and may be eligible for state or federal digital equity funding pathways.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The village is actively refreshing hardware and upgrading accounting software, but lacks documented cybersecurity controls such as endpoint management and credential security. Without layered protections in place, the ongoing IT refresh cycle leaves public systems and sensitive data exposed to growing threats.
The opportunity
Grant funding aligned with public safety technology—including law enforcement-focused programs—offers a viable path to offset modernization costs within the current budget cycle. Acting now allows the village to embed security controls during the hardware refresh, reducing remediation costs and long-term operational risk.
Warning & Alert Infrastructure Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Documented gaps in local siren coverage and backup power leave the village dependent on a county-level alert system that may not address localized emergencies. These capital infrastructure deficiencies elevate public safety risk and represent unmet hazard mitigation priorities identified by village leadership.
The opportunity
Active hazard mitigation and resilience initiatives signal leadership readiness, and the 2026 tax levy increase alongside emergency management grant programs offer viable funding pathways. Advancing this project now strengthens community resilience and aligns capital investment with the current fiscal planning cycle.
