Safety Town is a safety education program geared for the pre-kindergarten child. Topics include pedestrian safety, police officers, bicycle safety, riding a school bus, safety at home and play, fire safety, stranger danger, seat belts, and water safety. Traffic safety is emphasized daily as children ride through our miniature "city" complete with buildings, crossing guards, and street signs. Children who complete Safety Town should be better prepared to care for themselves as pedestrians or bus riders during their first year of school, as well as becoming more safety conscious at home and play. Safety Town has been specially designed for your child's needs-it is fun and educational.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
Overcast, with a high of 83 and low of 58 degrees. Overcast during the morning, clear overnight.
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
