The Saline Area Fire Department is seeking applications for an at-large position on its nine-person governing board - the Saline Area Fire Board (SAFB) oversees the budget, policy and capital expenditures for the fire department that serves the residents of the City of Saline, and Townships of Lodi, Saline and York.
The board is looking for an area resident passionate about fire services and interested in serving the broader Saline community - as the number of residents in the Saline fire district continues to grow, so do the duties and responsibilities of the Saline Area Fire Department.
The fire board generally meets bi-monthly, and is made up of nine volunteer members, two from each of the participating municipalities, and one at-large member.
The at-large member cannot be an elected member, employee, officer, board member, commission member, authority member or voluntary association member of any municipality that is party to this agreement, nor a member of the Saline Area Fire Department. This member shall represent the best interests of all four municipalities who comprise the Saline Area Fire Department and shall be a resident of one of the four municipalities. The member shall have one vote, shall serve for a period of four years and may serve consecutive terms upon reappointment by the SAFB. An atlarge member's term will cease immediately if they should no longer qualify to serve.
Interested applicants should send a letter of interest, outlining why they would be a suitable candidate, no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, March 15, 2024. Letters can be emailed or delivered/mailed to the Saline Area Fire Department - 100 North Harris St, Saline, MI 48176. Applicants should also obtain and complete the board application form by emailing Carol Joyce, at cjoyce@cityofsaline.org.
Candidates will be notified in writing of the scheduled interview date before the SAFB. Additional questions may be directed to City of Saline Mayor Marl, who also serves as the Chairman of the fire board.Mayor Marl can be reached at (734) 272-3654 or at bmarl@cityofsaline.org

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
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!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!

I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
