Saline's first city council meeting of 2022 has been pushed back to Jan. 12.
The meeting was scheduled for Jan. 10.
According to City Clerk Terri Royal, the meeting was delayed by two days to allow a couple of council members who've felt ill to recover and allow another council member, who will be traveling, enough time to return to town.
Clerk Royal said council can no longer participate in meetings remotely and must hold meetings in person. Meetings will continue to be broadcast on the city's Youtube channel.
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.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 47 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear overnight.
