SAGINAW, MI — After seemingly committing a parliamentary snafu earlier this month, the Saginaw City Council will take a second shot at green-lighting a program via the community's $52 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) stimulus money.By some eyes, it appeared the council at its Friday, Jan. 13, meeting OK'd $20,000 in stimulus allocations for the Saginaw Public Libraries.Saginaw City Clerk Janet Santos said the council voted on an amendment to the proposal — which stipulated terms and conditions tied to the funding — but neglected to cast a vote on the motion that served as the foundation for that amendment.
