The Administration Office for the City of Utica consists of the City Clerk's Office, the Treasurer's Office, the Assessor's Office and the Building Department. We call them offices but in reality it is really a 6-ft. square cubicle with a lot of energy.
The City Clerk's office is a small but hard working office. The duties handled by Clerks are: City Council meetings preparations and minutes, public notices for City Council meetings and the publication of the minutes from the meetings, the ordinances, the roster preparations for all city employees and commission volunteers, all insurance benefits and payments for the employees, as well as the pension payments, all payroll records and preparation of paychecks, W-2's, various local licenses. We also take in all complaints and process them to the proper department.
If you have a question or a problem, call us and we will try to help as best we can.
Our office handles all elections and related election matters, including the absentee voter applications and absentee ballots. You may stop in the office or call us at 586 739-1600 for any election questions or materials.
