Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and has unresolved gaps in mass notification coverage and local emergency management staffing. A recent severe weather declaration highlights the operational risk, while unmet NIMS/EOP compliance obligations create exposure to legal liability and potential loss of federal funding.
The opportunity
Multiple federal grant programs with 2026 deadlines—including EMPG, BRIC, HSGP, and COPS TEP—offer clear, near-term funding paths with limited local match requirements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the Village to close critical compliance gaps, strengthen community resilience, and reduce risk ahead of anticipated leadership transition.
Credential Management Gap Remediation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The Village currently lacks any credential management solution, leaving administrative and general user accounts exposed to unauthorized access and credential-based attacks. This gap represents a net-new cybersecurity risk with direct implications for operational continuity and public data protection.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget cycle and COPS TEP grant eligibility create a near-term funding window to address this gap with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces breach risk, supports audit readiness, and aligns procurement with available state and federal funding pathways.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Village is actively redeveloping its public-facing website, yet ADA/WCAG compliance gaps remain in documents and portals. Without full remediation, the Village faces legal exposure and risks excluding residents from equitable access to public services.
The opportunity
The active website redevelopment and recently approved budget cycle create a natural procurement window to address accessibility gaps now. Acting within this cycle aligns with leadership priorities, supports compliance mandates, and may qualify for state or federal funding assistance.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates specialized fleet equipment, including a vac truck, with no telematics or dashcam solution currently in place. Without driver behavior monitoring or incident documentation, the municipality faces elevated liability exposure and limited ability to investigate or prevent fleet-related incidents.
The opportunity
The approved 2026–2027 budget and existing grant-matched capital spending capacity create a near-term procurement window for fleet safety infrastructure. Acting within the current budget cycle supports responsible stewardship of public assets and may align with state cooperative purchasing programs that streamline acquisition.

Discuss this project →Modernize Endpoint Security and IT Infrastructure
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The Village operates a fragmented IT ecosystem with documented gaps in endpoint management and credential security, limiting visibility and control across systems. Without unified coverage, the municipality faces elevated cybersecurity risk and limited ability to demonstrate compliance or respond to incidents effectively.
The opportunity
The recently approved 2026–2027 budget cycle and available federal funding pathways—including COPS TEP—create a timely window to advance IT modernization with reduced local fiscal burden. An incoming village leadership transition further supports building a strong foundation for long-term cybersecurity resilience and operational continuity.
