Bay City
Residents & Business Owners Reminded to Remove
Snow from Sidewalks After Snowfall
BAY CITY, MICHIGAN, JANUARY 6, 2010
The City of Bay
City would like to remind all residents and business owners of
their responsibility under the city’s Code of Ordinances to
remove snow and ice from sidewalks adjoining their property
following snowfall. Keeping sidewalks free of snow and ice
assures the safety and convenience of persons using city
sidewalks and maintains the overall walkability of the
community. Persons having questions about the city’s snow
removal regulations or complaints about accumulations of snow
and ice on city sidewalks may contact Scott McKillop of the
city’s Planning Department at (989)894-8176, or by email at
smckillop@baycitymi.org.
The Bay
City Police Department is asking residents to help us reduce the
crimes of Home Invasion and Larcenies by locking your doors. If
an officer becomes aware of an unsecured door he or she will
attempt to contact the property owner. If that owner cannot be
located, the officer will lock the property and affix a notice
indicating the property was locked as a courtesy.

door hanger.

In
order to have a more structured review and approval process
regarding Special One Day Liquor Licenses (Non-profit
organizations) and Temporary Authorization (existing bar
establishments) applications the Bay City Police Department has
changed the procedures for application approvals. Drop-ins can
no longer be processed immediately.
Below
are the new procedures:
·
Completed
applications are to be turned in at the front desk. This can be
done during the hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Please be sure all
information is filled in on the forms. Include the diagrams and
copy of the bond with the application.
·
Applications will be reviewed and if approved, signed by the
Chief of Police. Approved applications will only be available
for pick-up at the front desk every Friday after 12:00 p.m.
·
Applications dropped off after 11:00 a.m. on Friday, will be
available for pick up on the following Friday.
·
Applications must be received by the Bay City Police Department
at least 20 days prior to the date of the event or there may not
be sufficient time for MLCC to review.
Remember, like any other licensee of the commission, Special
One-Day licensees are responsible for following the Liquor
Control Code and Rules of the Commission. Please familiarize
your staff with the liquor laws and rules that govern the sale
of alcoholic beverages.
