Council adopts 2026 work plan; staff to run bond outreach and project town halls
Summary
The council adopted the 2026 work plan, which sets quarterly milestones and assigns project leaders for priorities including a personnel manual update, bond informational outreach, town halls, park board bylaws, tree assessment, signage, a street‑maintenance fee study and cybersecurity work.
The Saginaw City Council approved the city’s 2026 work plan, adopting a set of quartered milestones and project leaders for a range of operational and capital initiatives.
Gabe (city staff) outlined the work plan’s top items: an update to the personnel manual; bond informational outreach that includes a one‑page flyer with propositions A, B and C (to be distributed in utility bills), a project website with design documents and recorded town‑hall video sessions; a parks board bylaw review and a tree‑assessment project working with the Texas Trees Foundation; gateway and wayfinding signage; a study of a street‑maintenance fee (modeled after Fort Worth’s process); cybersecurity audit scoping with contracted vendors; and continued focus on minimum property standards for hotels. Staff said town halls and targeted HOA engagement will be used to address public misconceptions about projects and where city limits lie.
Council members discussed outreach tactics, the need for clearer project scope and phasing, and regular check‑ins; the council agreed to place project updates on a regular meeting agenda and accepted the work plan by motion. Staff said they will record town halls and host documentation on a project website and that bond‑related materials will be reviewed by bond counsel to ensure they remain informational, not advocacy.
