New Hours for Dearborn City Clerk’s Office

In an effort to reduce overtime costs, the Dearborn City Clerk’s Office is closing a half hour earlier each day, providing customer service now between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. City Hall, at least for now, will remain open until 5 p.m.

City Clerk Kathleen Buda says the change is due to staff cutbacks and an attempt to avoid employee overtime. Buda says customer service is still a top priority and the change will allow the Clerk’s Office to complete individual requests by the time City Hall closes at 5 p.m.

The City Clerk’s Office provides birth and death certificates and registration; City Council agendas, minutes, and records; business licensing; voter registration; and notary services. It also administers city, school, county, state and federal elections; and maintains local ordinances.

The City Clerk’s general information number is 313-943-2010.

    Cut the office to three days a week — a useless office, except of course during election time.

    Actually, the city clerk’s office provides more useful and essential services to citizens than others housed in the city hall.

    How typical for the city administration to cut services that we actually use as opposed to some of the real fat housed in the same quarters.

    Maybe we need a referendum on the next ballot allowing Dearborn voters and taxpayers to decide which services to keep.

    But a binding vote will never happen as the current fat and happy administration wouldn’t dare to do that.

    They would rather spend our money on useless and ineffective, non-binding surveys that are unenforcable.
