Saline Township Selects Retired Sergeant for Zoning Role
Saline Township has appointed retired Saline Police Department sergeant Chris Boulter as its new zoning administrator and code enforcement officer. The appointment follows months of searching for a suitable candidate for the role. The article also notes that funding for Saline Area Fire Department equipment and farmland preservation comes from a data center consent judgment involving Related Digital.
Saline Township's Board recently approved the appointment of Chris Boulter, a retired Saline Police Department sergeant, as the township's new zoning administrator and code enforcement officer. Supervisor Tom Hammond recommended Boulter, highlighting his law enforcement background and construction experience, which includes familiarity with the permitting process. Boulter, who retired from the Saline Police Department in 2024 after 24 years, also served with the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office.
The township had been seeking a code enforcement officer for several months, with officials previously considering contracting with another municipality. Boulter is a familiar face at Saline Township meetings, where he regularly provides updates from the Saline Area Fire Department board. During a recent meeting, he reported on new fire department vehicles funded through a contribution from Related Digital, stemming from a data center consent judgment.
