Clerk’s OfficeGeneral Duties
The City Clerk is the clerk of the City Council, attends all meetings of the Council and maintains the official minutes of the Council.  The Clerk is the custodian of the official City seal and is also responsible for maintaining all of the papers, documents and records pertaining to the City unless the custody of records is otherwise prescribed for by law.   The Clerk’s Office  is responsible for the proper notification for meetings and public hearings through publication in the Iosco County News-Herald, posting in City Hall, and on this Web site.

The City of East Tawas will hold a Special Election on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 for a proposal to sell a facility/building owned by the City of East Tawas.  Full ballot language is available at City Hall.  Please contact the Clerk's office if you have any questions regarding the proposal.  

Absentee ballots for elections are available 45 days prior to an election.  A request to be on the permanent absentee ballot list will need to be completed prior to receiving an absentee ballot for future elections.  Please click here for the form.  If you are on the City's Permanent Absentee Ballot list, you will receive an Absentee Ballot for all future elections.  However, if you were previously on the Permanent absentee ballot list to receive an application for an absentee ballot and did not request to be on the permanent "ballot" list, you will receive an application in the mail to receive an absentee ballot.  The State of Michigan is in the process of converting to a permanent "ballot" list eliminating the need for an application to receive an absentee ballot.  Please contact the Clerk's Office if you have any questions or concerns regarding this process.
