Website debut at open house

About 40 people, many city employees and members of Clarkston City Council, boards, and committees, filled Independence Township Fire Station One’s training room for an open house on city services, Feb. 2.
The city Communications Committee organized the event, which was set up in convention style with departments offering information at tables around the room.
The event included Sandra Barlass, treasurer, discussing features of the city’s new website, www.villageofclarkston. org. It features information on city government, services, and events, forms for permits and services, many of which can be filled out online, and a discussion forum.
Its Notify Me feature allows people to sign up to automatically receive alerts, event reminders, meeting agendas and minutes, and other information, Barlass said.
