Saline Area Youth Baseball and Softball (SAYBS), a local nonprofit organization, has completed resurfacing projects at two City of Saline baseball fields. The field at Brecon Park and field #3 at Tefft Park (Saline Rec Center) have undergone a complete leveling and resurfacing. The project was completed by MVP Athletic Fields on Wednesday April 24. Total investment into the project was $14,750.
“Our organization is proud to invest in our community to ensure our ball fields continue to be some of nicest and most desirable in the area for years to come for ball players of all ages,” SAYBS President Joe Mierkowicz said.
SAYBS is funded by contributions from local businesses and donors, as well as player registration fees. The local non-profit has been providing the opportunity to play baseball and softball to Saline Youth since 1980. The organization provides House and Travel baseball and softball progams each spring for boys and girls aged 4-14 years old.

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.
