The Economic Development section of the June 15, 2026 City Manager’s report notes two major initiatives: Michigan Main Street implementation through the Tecumseh Downtown Development Authority and a Comprehensive Master Plan update funded through Redevelopment Ready Certified (RRC) funding from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). The department is also providing predevelopment funding support for priority projects including the TPS Admin Building and Patterson Schools LLC. These efforts suggest active planning and technical‑assistance work that will require consulting, public engagement, urban design, and possibly real estate advisory services. Planning and economic‑development firms can approach the city and DDA regarding scope development for the master plan update, Main Street programming (design, promotion, business support), and feasibility or site planning for the named predevelopment projects.
Initiatives are supported by MEDC’s RRC funding, indicating state oversight and grant requirements t...

The Superintendent’s 2026-27 budget includes $106,100 for a "Strategic Planning Consultant" and $100,000 for "Admin Planning Sessions," alongside $328,600 for leadership conference fees and travel. Combined with strong reserves and multi-year growth, this indicates a deliberate investment in external strategic planning support and leadership development for Sage Oak’s executive team as it scales. While the line suggests an intent to hire or continue with a consultant, no specific firm is named in the budget. Strategy and organizational development consultancies with experience in virtual/independent-study charters can propose services around multi-year academic and operational planning, growth management, governance, and change management. A timely outreach would ask about the scope and timeline they envision for strategic planning in 2026-27 and how a partner could help translate their financial projections into prioritized initiatives.

Tiburon’s FY 2026‑27 CIP includes a Town Owned Critical Facility Seismic Assessment project with a $40,000 budget from the Infrastructure & Facility Replacement fund. The work will provide a comprehensive engineering evaluation of seismic performance for key Town‑owned facilities, identify structural and non‑structural vulnerabilities, and develop prioritized retrofit recommendations tied to the 2040 General Plan and Local Hazard Mitigation Plan. The description highlights that results will position the Town to pursue state and federal hazard mitigation grants and guide future retrofit projects, but no consultant has been named. Structural engineering, hazard mitigation, and grant‑strategy firms can approach Public Works about scope, facility list, and how to package the assessment to support subsequent retrofit design and funding applications.
Project implements LHMP and Disaster Mitigation Act requirements and is positioned as a prerequisite...
The FY 2026‑27 CIP includes an Accessibility Evaluation & Improvements project with a $60,000 budget from the Infrastructure & Facility Replacement fund. The scope is to analyze Town‑owned and operated facilities to determine needed repairs and upgrades to meet current accessibility standards in line with Tiburon’s ADA transition plan. This phase is focused on evaluation, not yet construction, and no consultant is identified. ADA design and assessment firms can assist with facility surveys, prioritization, and a phased capital plan that can feed future design and construction RFPs for accessibility upgrades.
Project explicitly references alignment with the Town’s ADA transition plan.
