City of Flushing Non-Discrimination Plan WINTER NEWSLETTER Located just a short distance West of Flint and only moments from the 1-75/23 corridor allows the people of Flushing to enjoy the advantages of a metropolitan area, while residing in a small town atmosphere. The City of Flushing is a stable community with quality residential neighborhoods, good schools, beautiful views of the Flint River, a historic and vibrant downtown, parks, and convenient freeway access. Annual events and festivals, such as the Summerfest and Christmas Candlewalk contribute to Flushing's "small town" sense of community. The Flint River and related topography are the most important visual assets to the community. Spectacular views of the river valley and tranquility of the water create an identity unique to the region. The City has taken full advantage of this resource, especially in the downtown. The river's aesthetic opportunities include physical links to the river in the downtown area, along Main Street east of the Central Business District, and in Riverview Park along the Riverview Trail. Beginning October 1, 2019, water/sewer bills will be a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper and mailed in an envelope. Trash / Recycling Services 2021 Emterra Service Calendar and Information Yard Waste Pick Up Begins the week of Monday, March 22, 2021 Blight Notification Taxes / Utility / Assessing Per the Michigan Building Code, permits are required to install new/replacement windows, siding and shingles/new roof From the Flushing Police Department As citizens of our community are taking measures to reduce their exposure to the COVID-19 pandemic, another problem is surfacing as a result. The City of Flushing is receiving reports that people are disposing of personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, by throwing them on the ground in places open to the public. Gloves and masks have been found in parking lots and other areas throughout town. This behavior is concerning as it goes beyond littering. These items potentially contain the harmful Coronavirus we are trying to contain. Littering with these materials leaves others exposed and can further the pandemic within our community. This cannot be tolerated. It is our hope members of our community will be responsible and considerate and use appropriate disposal containers. Trash containers are located at convenient locations throughout the city. If necessary, the police department will explore all enforcement options available for those who fail to comply. This could result in charges that go beyond a violation for littering. Due to the implementation of COVID-19 mitigation measures, contact the Flushing Police Department via email at mhoornstra@flushingcity.com or by phone at 911. From the Office of the City Manager Residents are reminded to dispose of "flushable wipes" and disinfection wipes in the trash. Please DO NOT flush these wipes down the toilet. These items cause havoc to the city's sewer collection system, sewer lift station pumps and waste water treatment plant. Click HERE for an informational video.
