Saline City Council has approved a hiring committee as it begins a "comprehensive/nationwide"search for a permanent city manager.
Former City Manager Colleen O'Toole resigned at the end of January. Deputy City Manager Elle Cole currently serves as Acting City Manager.
Mayor Brian Marl called the committee a "talented, well-rounded group of staff, council members and private citizens. The committee is composed of:
Lesch made the motion to form the committee, seconded by Dean Girbach, and approved it unanimously. The hiring committee will consider proposals from search firms at its first meeting. The plan is to have a firm to recommend to council March 3 or 17.
The firm will work with the hiring committee to advertise the position, evaluate candidates, conduct phone and in-person interviews, and recommend no more than four finalists for interviews by the full council. Marl expects those interviews to take place in late spring or early summer.

Look around Saline, people can barely afford to maintain their homes. Every dollar the government takes is one less dollar needed to spend on the upkeep of our homes and properties. Washtenaw County has the highest taxes in all of Michigan. It’s becoming unbearable for many here.
This is a very unfocused op-ed - really, just a hodgepodge of loosely connected pejorative statements. Personally, I prefer the news to objectively report the facts, I can reach my own conclusions on local issues without being spoon fed someone else's opinions.
