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.
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.
