Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Saginaw Area GIS Authority has no publicly posted Emergency Operations Plan, no identified mass notification system, and no documented emergency exercises — gaps made urgent by recent tornado and flooding declarations. Fragmented city and county notification systems compound compliance risk tied to mandated EOP review cycles.
The opportunity
The approaching fiscal year end (July 1), active Homeland Security Grant Program and BRIC funding paths, and documented compliance mandates create strong near-term timing to act. Consolidating fragmented systems and formalizing the EOP now reduces operational risk and positions the authority to protect residents through a unified, compliant preparedness framework.
Homeland Security Grant Program
Discuss this project →Credential Security Gap: Password Management Implementation
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A formal password policy is in place, but no technical solution exists to enforce it, leaving credentials and sensitive systems exposed. This gap creates measurable compliance and security risk for staff, public data, and connected infrastructure.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding offers a viable path to close this gap with limited local match required. With a new financial decision-maker engaged and fiscal-year planning underway, timing is favorable to act before the budget cycle closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
A WCAG/ADA policy has been approved, but gaps remain between policy adoption and fully compliant public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. Without implementation, the organization risks ADA non-compliance and inequitable access to government services.
The opportunity
Budget approval tied to the WCAG policy signals near-term procurement readiness, and the existing CMS creates a direct integration path for accessibility improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
Active cybersecurity policies and significant IT investment are in place, but no centralized endpoint or remote monitoring solution has been documented, leaving a critical visibility gap. Without unified endpoint management, the organization faces elevated risk of undetected threats, policy non-compliance, and fragmented oversight across its infrastructure.
The opportunity
JAG grant funding is an eligible pathway for this category, and the approaching fiscal year end (July 1) alongside new financial leadership creates strong timing for near-term action. Closing this gap now strengthens cybersecurity posture, supports policy compliance, and ensures responsible stewardship of the organization's nearly $3 million annual IT investment.
