Consolidate Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Systems
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Saginaw County lacks a jurisdiction-specific Emergency Operations Plan and operates across a fragmented, multi-platform mass notification environment, creating critical gaps in coordinated response. Recent tornado and flooding events in April 2026, combined with new emergency management and 9-1-1 leadership, have elevated the urgency for a unified, jurisdiction-level solution.
The opportunity
The COPS Technology and Equipment Program and Homeland Security Grant Program offer identified funding paths with 2026 deadlines, and cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate procurement timelines. Acting now aligns with new leadership priorities, recent disaster-driven urgency, and the current grant window to close preparedness gaps and strengthen community resilience.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website has a confirmed WCAG 2.1 compliance gap, creating moderate legal and operational risk for residents who rely on accessible digital services. County leadership has formally approved a WCAG compliance policy, signaling recognized need and readiness to act.
The opportunity
A contract expiring December 2027 creates a firm 18-month decision window, and FY2027 budget projections include earmarked funds aligned with accessibility initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces compliance exposure and ensures equitable public access to government services.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
County-level cybersecurity policy approvals signal growing investment in this area, yet direct implementation remains in early stages. With an established IT and software budget and new leadership in place, the gap between policy intent and operational security posture presents measurable risk to public systems and data.
The opportunity
New leadership transitions create a timely window to advance cybersecurity initiatives, and grants such as COPS TEP and HSGP — with 2026 deadlines — offer eligible funding paths. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns spending with approved policy direction and reduces exposure before the next budget period.

Discuss this project →Fleet Asset Visibility and Governance Review
Fleet Management · Public Accountability
High Priority
About this project
Current records reflect undisclosed or untracked fleet and equipment ownership, creating a transparency and governance gap. Without confirmed asset visibility, the organization faces latent liability exposure and potential audit risk if vehicles or equipment are in active use.
The opportunity
Addressing fleet recordkeeping gaps now supports stewardship of public assets and reduces liability before issues surface in audits or incidents. Cooperative purchasing mechanisms available to government entities can simplify and accelerate procurement within the current fiscal planning cycle.
