Saline City Council meets Monday night. Here's what's on the agenda.
Swearing In
Jenn Harmount, Jim Dell'Orco and Tramaine Halsch will be sworn in to Saline City Council. They were the top three vote-getters in the November election.
State of the City
Mayor Brian Marl will give a State of the City address. The Saline Post intends to broadcast a live stream of the address. In addition, the Saline Post will ask Mayor Marl about the address during an interview streamed at 1 p.m., Wednesday.
Nicole Rice Picked as Mayor Pro Tem
Marl has recommended Councillor Nicole Rice as Mayor Pro Tem. Councillor Janet Dillon had the job last year. In addition, Councillor Harmount is recommended as Presiding Officer, meaning she would act as mayor (run the meeting) in the event both Marl and Rice are absent.
Council Considers $710,000 for Axon Body Worn Cameras
Police Chief Marlene Radzik is recommending council spend $710,000 over the next 10 years. It includes tasers, cartridges and more for 19 officers, Fleet in-car videos for six vehicles, and 19 body cameras.
Saline Police began wearing body cameras in 2022. A five-year, $210,000 contract with Axon expires this year. Axon is claiming that by agreeing to the contract this year, the city will get a nearly $200,000 discount.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 71 and low of 54 degrees. Overcast during the morning, partly cloudy during the afternoon, patchy rain nearby for the evening, clear overnight.
The author of this post doesn’t know how to use commas, sad
The mayor as he has every year is ramping up his community events before the election. Is he spending city money like media support for his campaigning? When does this move from the power of the incumbency to unethical to illegal?
Typical that our police chief is unresponsive.
Yet more incompetent officials appointed by our self serving mayor and his kangaroo court of city council! This city is going to **** in a hand basket!
When will they be done with the trucks?
Why do you need to point out they are women? Does gender matter for some reason? *** is "the data center prospect". Do you even know how to use commas?
Very sad the blowback at individuals who just about volunteer their time (they are paid next to nothing) for the Township.
No one’s saying these aren’t nice people. But, Change is good. The township could probably use a fresh perspective from the next generation of residents. Nice or not, they failed the residents; not one single resident wants this data center except the people who sold the land.
Respectfully disagree. They did consult with attorneys and experts and understood as is sadly the case that fighting it would only result in costly litigation that drained the Township financial resources only to come to the same result.
