COVID-19 Updates for Residents:

1. City boards and committees are now meeting in-person with a virtual option available to the public. Individuals who would like to attend meetings in person can access City Hall from the Martin Street entrance during normal business hours, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.  For meetings that occur after hours, visitors can access City Hall through the Police Department lobby entrance on Pierce Street. 
   
   The highly transmissible COVID-19 Delta variant is spreading throughout the nation at an alarming rate.  As a result, the CDC is recommending that vaccinated and unvaccinated personnel wear a face mask indoors while in public if you live or work in a substantial or high transmission area.  Oakland County is currently classified as a high transmission area.  The City has reinstated mask requirements for all city employees while indoors. The mask requirement also applies to all board and commission members as well as the public attending public meetings.
