The Saginaw City Council used part of its evening agenda to recognize recent employees and volunteers. A police ceremonial badge pinning honored the promotion of Will Osteen to corporal; the police chief described Osteen’s qualifications and roles, including his three years with the department and instructor assignments. Osteen’s wife, Maddie, participated in the pinning ceremony.
Council also presented certificates of appreciation and commendation to volunteers and alumni association members who assisted with the July 4 event and helped staff identify suspicious activity that later escalated into a shooting in Fort Worth, according to staff commentary.
Council member Valerie Tucker read a proclamation designating Friday, Oct. 18, 2024, as Saginaw Day of Prayer, and members posed for photographs to accept the proclamation.
These items were ceremonial and informational; no formal action beyond recognition and a photo opportunity was recorded in the transcript.
