Web Accessibility & ADA-Compliant Website Redesign
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City of Saugatuck has an active website redesign initiative with dedicated FY25-26 budget allocations, but the current site does not meet WCAG 2.1 and ADA accessibility mandates. Non-compliance exposes the city to legal and regulatory risk while limiting equitable public access to government services and information.
The opportunity
FY25-26 funds are already approved, and an active redesign initiative creates an immediate contracting window aligned with formal procurement requirements. Acting now ensures compliance, improves resident-facing service delivery, and leverages cooperative purchasing to streamline the process.

Discuss this project →Fleet Modernization and Telematics Implementation
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The city's expanding fleet and aging DPW equipment lack documented telematics and dashcam solutions, creating operational visibility gaps and moderate risk. Incoming DPW leadership and fleet growth signal a timely moment to evaluate and formalize fleet management practices.
The opportunity
Capital improvement funding and an established Motor Pool fund provide clear budget pathways for fleet technology investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement, and acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the city to reduce operational risk while supporting responsible stewardship of public assets.

Discuss this project →City-Specific Emergency Management & Mass Notification Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city currently depends on county-level mass notification with no documented Emergency Operations Plan or recent preparedness exercises, creating gaps in city-specific response capability. A recent severe weather declaration underscores the operational risk to residents and staff when localized emergency coordination is absent.
The opportunity
BRIC and JAG grant programs offer viable funding pathways for emergency management and mass notification initiatives, reducing the local fiscal burden. New leadership and a recent weather event create a timely opening to establish a standalone, compliant emergency readiness posture ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Cybersecurity Policy Compliance & Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces a clear cybersecurity policy compliance mandate with no documented baseline spend or active initiative to address it within its $165,900 annual IT budget. Without defined policies or endpoint controls, the city carries growing operational and regulatory risk across municipal systems and staff.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding offers a near-term, accessible path to offset cybersecurity investment with limited local match required, aligning well with the current fiscal planning cycle. Acting now establishes a defensible compliance baseline before audit exposure or an incident forces a costlier, reactive response.
