Here's a Preview of the April 15 Saline City Council Meeting

Saline Main Street, the nonprofit organization that revitalizes downtown, will present a report to the Saline City Council on Monday evening.

Council is expected to pass a $35,000 contribution to the organization in a consent agenda motion.

Rec Center Gets $92,260 Water Bill

There's an interesting item on the consent agenda. Due to an incorrect decimal reading, the Rec Center was being undercharged for water usage between Sept. 1 2016 and Nov. 9, 2023, when the mistake was corrected. In all, the Rec Center was undercharged by $92,260. The city's general fund will cover the charge.

Resolutions

Council has several resolutions in the consent agenda:

  • There's a resolution for Nurses Week, May 6-12.
  • A resolution recognizes May as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. Other resolutions recognize May as Historic Preservation Month and National Bike Month.

New Business

Council will vote on setting the budget public hearing for May 20. Council will also consider a motion to spend $52.598 on an F-250 truck from Mission Ford and a flatbed for $6,000. The total price is $8,598 higher than estimated.

Discussion

Council will discuss the city manager's evaluation, the county mental health millage and a book on the Bixy Marionettes.

So the rec center has been “undercharged for water usage since 2016?”  Who is responsible for accurate water billing?  Is it not the city?  Please correct me if I’m wrong, but yet another screw up from city management that has gone on for 8 years?  And now they bury this communication in the consistently ambiguous city council meeting agenda.  Our city’s leaders do as they wish with little to no accountability .  Our mayor, city council and city management is ruining our city .  VOTE FOR CHANGE SALINE!

Maybe this fund could also be used to correct and credit the citizens who received the grossly inflated and unexplained overcharge errors back in 2021 that the mayor, manager and council simply swept under the rug. Our water bill was $1600(!!!) for one quarter. And then we paid another $1200 for a second water meter (for summer irrigation) — which was the only remedy provided us — and were then subjected to an unnecessarily and overly complicated process, with multiple scheduled visits and certifications to complete the install.
