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.

Mr Girbach,
Thank you loyal service to to community.
Your a total gentleman, someday I'll have an opportunity to meet you and shake your hand.
Let me take my "filter off" for a moment.
Sunny, with a high of 88 and low of 68 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
Thats the city I moved into thirty five no woke years ago! Thank you sir for your service, I'm against DEFUNDING the police.
Interesting you should comment this nonsense because the city and our Police Dept have focused on safety for everyone in our community by encouraging efforts and training in understanding differences neurodivergence, culture, gender and the like. What some may call diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.
Interesting that Council at times had no problem removing funding from the Rec Center part way through the year but a reassignment of expenses is troubling? Fair questions but to imply something nefarious is quite inappropriate. Worked adjacent to finance in a Fortune 500 company.
“Girbach was part of the team that participated in that analysis and certainly would have been exposed to those numbers.”
If you've followed council 10 years or more, you know that several members of council have had issues with the way the Rec Center is presented at budget time.
