The city is holding two public informational meetings on the proposed millage. They are on Wednesday's at 7pm in the City Hall Community Room (425 N. Main St.)—January 18th and February 22nd.

The Finance Director is responsible for all of the incoming and outgoing monies for the City of Clawson. Whether it’s paying the bills, posting and recording the receipts, or investing the excess funds, keeping the city’s finances in order are the responsibilities of the Accounting Office. The City of Clawson has seven separate funds to account for as well as construction and debt funds and a separate component unit called the Downtown Development Authority. Each fund has its own set of books to prepare a budget for and to balance each year.


The City of Clawson has a fiscal year that runs from July 1st through June 30th. Until two years ago, the Finance Director would prepare the City Budget along with assistance from the City Manager.  Now that I am the Finance Director and also the City Manager I have the task of preparing, presenting, and maintaining the City’s annual budget. This is generally a process which begins in February and ends when the City Council adopts the budget at the second meeting each May. Maintaining the budget is a daily part of the job.  The Finance Director also prepares the books and multiple schedules for the auditors so that they may audit the books for every fund each year.  Although this is extremely challenging, I enjoy my work and love Clawson.
