Light Agenda for Saline City Council

City council meets to address items on a light agenda when it meets at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers at .

Here’s what’s on tap:

• City council accept the retirement letter from Saline deputy clerk Jacqueline Lindimore, who retires April 21 after 25 years of serving the city. Council will consider a plan to reorganize the city clerk’s department. The plan, drawn up by clerk Dianne Hill and supported by city manager Todd Campbell, involves promoting Aimee Rutledge to deputy city clerk/elections coordinator. Connie DeHaan, working part-time in the water department, would be brought on full-time as assistant clerk in a position shared by the clerk and water departments. Rutledge would make $47,350 while DeHaan would make $20.80 per hour. According to Hill’s memo to council, the move adds $4,638 in salary this year but saves $21,533 in 2013.

• Council will consider a new feebook. The book includes slight increases in Rec Center memberships, a 33 percent increase in the cost of a city wedding ceremony officiated by the mayor, and increase costs for record requests.  Among the dozens of fee changes, the biggest are for special land use applications for child care centers and bed and breakfast operations. They could increase from $200 to $700.

• Council will receive a report from the cemetery task force on the plans for Oakwood Cemetery.

• Members of the Saline Celtic Festival Committee will update council on planning for this year’s event.
