Here's what's on the agenda for the Jan. 13 meeting of Saline City Council.
Green Space Decision
The downtown green space decision/discussion has been moved to the end of the month. It will happen at a special meeting at 6 p.m., Jan. 27.
Appointments
Grace Wu has been recommended to serve on the Local Officers Compensation Committee. Jean Lesch has been recommended for the Oakwood Cemetery Board.
Rec Center Rules and Handbook Changes
Council will once again consider amendments to the Rec Center's rules and handbook.
Since the last review by council, legal counsel is offering new language about ADA compliance, language about video surveillance, and added rule about blood.
The new handbook contains language that says individuals "are required to use the locker room that corresponds to their gender identity or choose the family locker room." The policy applies to people aged 4 and up.
Woodland Drive East, Industrial Drive Project
Council will consider authorizing staff to execute a contract with MDOT for the Woodland Drive East, Industrial Drive street project and award engineering surfaces to OHM for $155,000.
The work is expected June 7 and should be completed by Aug. 15. The project costs an estimated $1,105,300.
It includes a mill and overlay on Woodland drive from Industrial to Maple and a mill and overlay on Industrial from Woodland Drive to north of Campus Parkway. Concrete repairs include curbs, sidewalk and ramp improvements. Other work includes the restoration of pavement marking.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 73 and low of 45 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear overnight.
Thank you for your years of dedicated service to the Saline Police Department officer 👮♂️ Belknap. I wish you best of luck in all matters of life!
This is outstanding news for the Saline Community!
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.
No Data center
While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
You all have absolutely lost your collective minds! Fiscal insanity.
Love the idea and could absolutely see this treasure becoming a multi-use facility for the city. Not sure how I would approach it were I the owner but I believe the current owners inherited the house (could be wrong) after being in the family for many years.
Curious as to current status of the second smaller home built in the same style. Is that currently owned by the same family and part of this discussion?
