Work Meeting on Budget
City Holds Work Meeting on Budget
City Council will meet at 5:30 p.m. to review the recommended budget.
City Considers Fire Assessment
City Council expects to assess the 1-mill assessment on the city to raise revenue to pay its share of fire services. Council is expected to consider a resolution. The city is expected to pay the fire department almost $1.1 million this year. The special assessment is expected to raise $646,746.
Fire Authority Articles
In what could be an historic vote, City Council is expected to consider the new Articles of Incorporation for the Saline Area Fire Authority.
WRRMA Articles
City Council will consider approving the amended articles of incorporation of the Washtenaw Regional Resource Management Authority. Other members are the townships of Pittsfield, Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, and the cities if Ann Arbor, Dexter and Ypsilanti. The WRRMA hasn't taken a very involved approach to waste management and recycling as of yet, and the city is hoping for savings in the future.
City Hall Roof
Saline City Council will consider a $384,000 proposal to repair the roof at City Hall. C&I Building Maintenance was the low bidder at $348,110, plus a nearly $40,000 lightning-protection addendum. The high bidder was $637,000.
Fun Run
One of the items on the consent agenda is a First United Methodist Church and Kids Coalition Against Hunger Fun Run. It would take place from 1-4 p.m., Nov. 1. It would take place in the Woodland/Heritage School Parking Lot. The event would feature a 1 mile and 5L run/walk to promote awareness and raise funds to fight childhood hunger.
Jazz at the Mansion

Jazz at the Mansion is also on the consent agenda. The Arts & Culture Committee Event was formerly known as Jazz in the Park and it was held at Mill Pond Park. Construction is planned at the park this summer. It's planned for the Davenport-Curtiss property from 4-8 p.m., July 18.
Sunny, with a high of 88 and low of 61 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear overnight.
The "Sinking" fund that never sinks. The "CARES" fund that is just school tax in disguise.
Seems to me that the CARES Fund ignores the Recreation Center? Why? When the Fund was created in 1999 it included the Rec.Center? Everyone who attends Saline Schools and their neighbors all get discounted Memberships but pay no tax dollars to support it? That feels wrong to me.
Hey there Dave. I just want to provide some clarifying information. I wrote a letter of support to the Cares committee a little over a year ago on behalf of a grant application submitted by Saline Rec Center. The grant was approved.
My wife and I have been there 3 times already. The selection is amazing and the staff is extremely helpful. Can’t wait to go back again!!!
You lost us at "when I first voted for Trump". No credibility after that.
From someone who likely supported:
* Abusing the justice system to go after opponents
* Suspsended rights during COVID
* Lied about the origin of COVID
* Lied about the treatment of COVID
* Pretended every positive test for a virus was a COVID case
Supported? What an insane leap. Must say somewhat surprised to see you are a supporter of ridiculous conspiracy theories. You are wrong about us and wrong about much of what is on that little list.
Appreciate the interest in serving Saline. At this point, looks as though he will win by acclimation. Wonder what would happen if there were more candidates than spots. Without understanding why, it would be difficult to support a candidate who withdrew their interest then popped back in last minute.
As you can see by the picture, Bret is active in the city events and gives countless hours to his community.
