PRESS RELEASE FROM THE CITY OF SALINE
The Saline Rec Center will be hosting two focus group meetings, Tuesday, January 31 from 5:30 – 7 p.m., and Wednesday, February 1 from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at the Saline Recreation Center located at 1866 Woodland Dr, Saline, MI 48176.
These meetings will serve as an opportunity for the community to provide feedback to inform the needs and wants of the community.
The study aims to recognize the demographic of the region; determine if updates to the Saline Rec Center are desired, feasible and beneficial to pursue; identify programs and features that would meet the needs and interests of the community; develop conceptual design options based on the assessment; and estimate the costs of improving, maintaining and operating the facility.
“The Rec Center has been a valued asset to the community for the last 30 years,” said Parks and Recreation Director Carla Scruggs. “We want to make sure that we are providing all the services and programs that the community wants and needs so we are able to benefit the community for another 30 plus years.”
The public is invited and welcomed to attend either of the meetings. Should a resident like to attend, the Saline Rec Center asks they RSVP to www.signupgenius.com/go/9040a45aba722a1f85-feasibility#/ so they are able to accommodate for the correct amount of people.
For more information, please contact Parks and Recreation Director Carla Scruggs at cscruggs@cityofsaline.org or at (734) 429-3502 x 2509.
Overcast, with a high of 77 and low of 56 degrees. Overcast in the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon and evening, overcast overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
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.
