The City of Jackson announced further steps to stop the potential spread of coronavirus in the Jackson area. The following steps have been decided by City leaders:
• The Jackson City Council meeting planned for Tuesday, March 17 was cancelled. Plans are being made for future meetings to take place digitally, with ways for residents to participate through livestreams and phone lines.
• Jackson City Hall will be closed to the public through Monday, April 6. A drop box will be provided for residents to submit payments and paperwork in the 1st floor entrance to City Hall. Staff advises residents to submit checks or money orders instead of cash, as they are safer forms of payment. Staff will continue to work in the building to keep City government operational, and will be responsive to phone calls and emails. The City’s main phone line is 517-768-6060. Staff emails can be found on the City’s website.
• To discourage residents from coming to City Hall to submit payments, officials are working toward waiving fees for online payments. Property taxes, water utility bills, permit fees, and fines can all be paid through the City’s website.
The City of Jackson has suspended water shutoffs, cancelled recreation programs and committee meetings, allowed City employees time off for quarantine and family care, and suspended employee business travel outside the area.
Vital City operations, such as public safety and utility services, are currently not impacted by these changes.
Updates will be provided as they become available. Information will be released through the City’s website, social media platforms, and the CodeRED mass communication system.
