The City of Saline will host a "coffee and conversation" about proposed charter amendments on upcoming ballots.
It takes place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Saline City Hall in the council chambers. City Hall is located at 100 N. Harris St.
“In 2023, Council convened a Charter Review Working Group – the genesis, was to reform and modernize our City’s charter, in order to provide greater clarity and improve efficiencies with City government,” said Mayor Brian Marl. “Charter amendments will appear on upcoming ballots. As such, we must provide an overview and explanation of the proposed changes and address any questions our residents may have.”
City Manager Colleen O’Toole and Councilman Dean Girbach, who served on the Charter Review Working Group, will lead and facilitate this forthcoming discussion.
Light refreshments will be served. This event will be recorded and live streamed on YouTube – questions will be entertained by those who attend in person, as well as those who participate remotely.
If individuals have questions or concerns, they are welcome to contact the City’s PR Generalist, Sarah Massey – she can be reached by phone, (734) 429-4907 ext. 2207, or at smassey@cityofsaline.org.

If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
