Friday, Saline Area Schools were closed for extreme cold. Weather conditions have closed schools again on Monday. Sunday's snowstorm was cited as the reason for closing schools in an announcement shared Sunday.
In addition, Saline Area Social Service announced it will be closed on Monday.
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.
Sunny, with a high of 45 and low of 30 degrees. Sunny for the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear during the evening,
