2025 Michigan Municipal Guide

​CHANGES IN OFFICE PROTOCHOL: 
 There are security concerns on the part of some elected officials and staff, and the perception by some, that our "facilities, employees and the visiting public face a variety of threats including assault, illegal weapon and explosive possession, robbery, civil disturbances, homicide and arson."  [See board meeting discussing these issues by clicking here.]  Thus, hence forward, if you cannot gain easy entrance to the offices, look for signs on the doors with instructions to call a cell phone number. At that time the employee may, at their discretion, decide on options, including allowing or denying entrance to the building. Mailboxes for correspondence, tax and other payments and ballots are attached to the exterior stoop area for your non-contact use.
