New Dropbox Coming Soon

The City is in the process of installing a new drop box on the north side of the building – which you will be able to drive up to. This is being installed for the Elections Ballots, as the ballots will not fit in our current small drop box on the side of the building. PLEASE mail your ballots back with the postage paid envelope or wait until the larger drop box is installed. The weather (snow and cold temperatures) is hindering the final placement of the drop box. Ballots can be turned in until 8pm on Election Day.

STATE WIDE BURN BAN

Due to the “stay home, stay safe” executive order, most burn permits are suspended across the state. Burning yard debris is the top cause of wildfires in Michigan. Suspending burn permits reduces the potential for wildfires, which will limit the risk of exposing first responders to coronavirus and make sure trained personnel and equipment are available to assist with COVID-19 response as needed. DNR Michigan.gov

A burn permit is not required for cooking or recreational campfires (contained).

 

Leaves & Brush

The City of Otsego transfer station will now be taking leaves and yard brush. The gates will be closed, but you may drop off your leaves and your yard brush at the designated locations immediately next to the transfer station. Please make sure to separate the leaves and yard brush and read the signs. Nothing else can be dropped off at the transfer station. Thank you for your understanding.

City Hall Closed

The City of Otsego will be closed indefinitely, starting on Monday March 16th. In hopes of limiting personal contact we are closing city hall and directing everyone to use our payment drop box, online payment, voicemail or email. City hall will not be open. Our department heads will do their best to respond to your requests based on level of urgency.

Essential services such as Police, Fire, WWTP and DPW will be available. They will only be slightly modified, if at all. 911 services will not be altered in any way. If you have an emergency, please continue to use 911 as normal.

We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause but we want to protect our residents, employees and community as much as possible during these trying times. In relation to these changes, we will also be cancelling the City Commission meeting for Monday night.
