2. Old Business
a. Review, discussion and possible action on the strategic plan spreadsheet and prioritization of objectives, strategies and tactics.
Administrator Heiser explained that there were 16 objectives identified in the newly adopted Strategic Plan. The Board will focus on 4 of those objectives at this meeting that are of higher priority.
There are 3 objectives under Risk Mitigation:
1. Emergency Response Preparation – addressing safety of the beach
2. Water Quality – this is already in progress with the DNR
3. It Security – review of IT security should become an annual review
4. (Separate from Risk Mitigation) Development Strategy 2- Evaluate Village-Owned properties uses and assets.
a. Development of Beach Front
b. Development of River Walk to connect the beach to other areas
c. Quiet Zone – This is already in progress and is a goal for the Administrator to pursue in 2025
Trustee Rohde would like to include under Risk Mitigation such as addressing general security risks in areas where there is no proper protection and looking into economic risks into the future. He also wants to look into long-term solutions for the Village’s water supply and cost ramifications associated with that.
Trustee Grabowski mentioned the objective pertaining to communication to residents wasn’t listed in the top 4, but could be looked into as well.
Trustee Grabowski and Trustee Rohde were assigned to work on Objective A Strategy 1 – Focus on the re-development of the B-2 “Downtown” district which includes the lakefront business district, Oakton Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue and Main Street, and Objective A Strategy 2 – Evaluate Village-owned properties, uses and assets to determine the best future use of those lands.
President Knutson and Trustee Kreuser were assigned to work on Objective C Strategy 1 – Review and update the Village’s Emergency Response plan in situations such as train derailment, weather events or acts of terror; Strategy 3 – Prepare a cyber security response plan to identify potential threats to the Village’s digital infrastructure, and prepare actions to strengthen the Village’s digital security; and Strategy 4 – Evaluate public safety risks and develop proactive plans to reduce those risks. The Board determined that Strategy 2 was being addressed by the Department of Public Works and the DNR.
The consensus of the Board was to meeting quarterly with updates. Meet quarterly with updates.
