"Our goal is to enhance the quality of education in the Saline Area School District by providing money for 'extras' that cannot be funded by the general budget," said Stacey Rumpsa, Executive Director of the Foundation for Saline Area Schools. "It is because of our sponsors and generous donations that we can facilitate the innovative ideas that our teachers, students and staff create, making a big impact on our students' educational experiences."

I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
