The City Clerk’s Office will be closed to in-person services on Thursday, July 16, and Friday, July 17, while we work with our new utility billing software company to complete system updates.

Phone calls will still be accepted during normal business hours, and staff will be available to assist you by telephone whenever possible.

Please note: We will not be able to accept utility payments in person or process payments during this time.

Residents may still submit cash or check payments using the secure locked drop box located at the drive-thru window. Payments placed in the drop box will be processed as soon as our system is available.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we transition to our new software system and work to improve our services.
