City Of Flushing

What City Of Flushing does

City of Flushing is a chartered municipal government headquartered at 725 E. Main Street in Flushing, Genesee County, Michigan, serving approximately 8,500 residents within city limits. The city delivers the full bundle of municipal services typical of a small Michigan city: water treatment and distribution, wastewater and sewer management, refuse and recycling collection (delivered through contracted providers including Emterra and Waste Management), police and fire protection, paramedic non-transport emergency medical services (launched October 2023 with a four-minute response capability), public works (streets, parks, cemetery, storm water), and planning/zoning administration. Supporting facilities include a fire/EMS station at 723 E. Main Street and a Department of Public Works facility at 226 S. McKinley Street.

The city's underlying technology footprint is utility-grade rather than product-grade: a Revize CMS website (flushingcity.com), a BSA Online payment portal for property taxes and utility bills, and TextMyGov SMS-based citizen communications at 810-605-7655. Revenue is generated through a diversified municipal model comprising ad valorem property taxes (including dedicated millages for purposes such as veterans services, which levied $23,012.37 in 2023), recurring water and sewer utility charges, one-time permit and license fees (building, fence, sign, demolition, peddler, zoning, rental registration), and special assessments for services such as EMS, snow removal, and weed control. The city is governed by an elected Mayor, City Council, and a professional staff led by City Manager Michelle King, with department heads in police, fire, public works, and clerk/treasurer functions. Notable strategic assets include the 1.4-mile Riverview Trail along the Flint River (with 72-foot and 200-foot bridge spans) and a recurring community event calendar including Twilight Tuesdays, Shamrock Stroll, Summerfest, and Christmas Candlewalk.
