The City of Saline will host a Sept. 11 memorial program to mark the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States.
The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Saline City Hall and the Saline Area Fire Department, 100 N. Harris St.
The event will consist of a brief program, including several special presentations. Presenters will include: Mayor Marl, Police Chief Jerrod Hart, a representative from the Saline Fire Department and Retired Colonel Eric Engelmeier, representing American Legion Post 322. An invocation will be provided by Tom Zimmerman, Senior Pastor at Saline First United Methodist Church.
Following the event, light refreshments will be served.
Moderate rain, with a high of 50 and low of 20 degrees. Overcast in the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon and evening, patchy rain nearby overnight.
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.
