The Saline Police Cadets is a youth program offered to people with an interest in a law enforcement career. Pictured above are a group of cadets who worked during Saline Summerfest. They are Samuel Sakel, Ethan Boulter, Kameron Lindemulder, Ethan Navasalazar, Nathan Ziemann, and Leah Eisemann.
The cadets were working at Saline Summerfest when this picture was taken at Henne Field. All plan some sort of public service, whether it's military, state, local or federal police, or firefighting.
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.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 47 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny in the morning, patchy rain nearby in the afternoon, light snow during the evening, clear overnight.
