The Saline Township Board of Trustees completed the business of their first meeting of 2023 in less than an hour Wednesday evening at the Saline Township Hall. The annexation of the Greaves property on Macon Road in Saline Township generated the most discussion at the meeting.
Annexation of Macon Road Property
There was no action that needed to be taken on the annexation request as there has been no update from the City of Saline since the December meeting. The board has some questions about the initial proposal that the city presented to the Township. Consulting township attorney Fred Lucas said that he had some questions about the proposed financial arrangements offered by the City.
“There is no need for the board to act on anything tonight as there have been no further discussions from the developer or city,” Lucas reported.
The township will take no further action until it gets additional information from the developed and the City.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
