Bob Daniels

Renowned Chelsea community member Robert Bob Daniels died Sept. 1 due to natural causes. He was 83. Born in Ann Arbor on March 10, 1929, Daniels was the president of Chelsea Lumber Company from 1970 onward and a former

president of the village of Chelsea in the 60s. He was also an active member of Chelsea First United Methodist Church. Daniels was heavily involved in efforts in Chelsea as a founding member of Chelsea Community Foundation and an instrumental fundraiser for the Chelsea District Library. Daniels also served on the Chelsea School District Board of Education for five years as president and served as treasurer for the Detroit-based Spaulding, a nonprofit child welfare agency, for Children for 35 years. Im not sure there are enough

good words in the English language to say what Bob Daniels was to this community, Chelsea City Councilmember Frank Hammer said. Hammer called Daniels passing a great loss to the community as he was a man of honor and a man of purpose a man of the people. He was one of the backbones of the community, Hammer said.

Chelsea City Council made its first step toward the sale of the citys former police station at 104 E. Middle St at a regular meeting Aug. 28. Only a few comments were made during a public hearing, the first in the sale process. City Councilman Kent Martinez-Kratz asked his colleagues about the process to sell and whether it would involve requests for proposal, or RFPs, to which City Manager John Hanifan explained that RFPs were one option. The (city) charter gives latitude ... what we are going to consider is the use of a broker, Hanifan said. Were not in any particular time crunch to get rid of it. So far, all city property, other than some caches of city records in the old stations basement, have been moved. Hanifan did say that JOHN HANIFAN the city Chelsea city manager would not be driving a development and would rather just sell the building and property outright and leave the direction of development up to a private buyer. Resident George Till was the only member of the public to ask a question, partially from the perspective of a member of the Chelsea Area Historical Society. As far as sales go, will it be negotiable with the broker? Till asked. For instance, Im a part of the historical society and we do have an interest in the building. Would grants be a part of the sale? Are you going to take that into consideration?
