A Guide For Virtual City Council Meetings using Zoom

Transitioning to virtual city council meetings using Zoom may be challanging for some citizens. The easiest way to participate in Zoom meetings is by using a computer or by downloading the Zoom application to a smartphone. It is also possible to Call-In to a Zoom meeting using any phone, though it can be a challenge to participate without knowing how to unmute your microphone. Below is a brief set of quick tips and commands that may help Croswell citizens participate in the virtual city council meetings.

Finding the Zoom information

The city will post the upcoming meeting information on city website website https://www.cityofcroswell.com/ under the Quick Information tab, as well as city’s Facebook site 

Clicking on the City Council Agenda you will find Zoom meeting Invitation Information that includes a dial in phone number, a Meeting ID, and a Passcode. It will look similar to the image below:

**Note the ID, Passcode, and dial in number are all Subject to change. Be sure to check the city website for the current meeting invitation.         

Phone Participants

Dial into the meeting using any of the phone numbers listed under Dial in by your location. (If in Croswell, New York will be your location)

Once you Dial-In you will be prompted to enter the Meeting ID followed by the # key

Next, you will be asked to enter a Participant ID if you have one or skip using #. Press # to skip. You only need to do this if you have already joined the meeting on a computer, app, or are a panelist in a webinar

Finally, you will be asked to enter the Passcode followed by the # key (this is located at both the top and the bottom of the meeting invitation labeled Passcode:)

If you have successfully entered the correct meeting information you will be notified that you have joined the meeting. When the meeting is finished, simply hang up to disconnect.

The City of Croswell would like to thank all of our residents and businesses for their patience while we transition our water system. Without all of their support and dedication to our City we would not be the great town that we are today.

Water Update

The City of Croswell built a new filter plant at 159 Louise St. This plant was built because the old filter plant was beyond its serviceable life. The new plant was put into operation on June 3, 2020.

Since the start of the new plant the City has been receiving complaints about the water quality in the distribution system. We are addressing all complaints and this is of the highest priority for the City. Please, if you are having any issues with water quality at your home or business, we would appreciate it if you would contact us so we can look into any issue that you are having with your water quality, call Croswell City Hall at 810-679-2299.

As you notice around town, we have been doing a lot of flushing of hydrants and homes. We are testing to make sure we are still sending our customers clean potable water. We have also had a third party come in, Michigan Rural Water, and they are helping us locate and solve any issues we are having. We have also been in heavy contact with EGLE (Mich. Dept of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy) and our water quality is at the top of their list. We have a lot of Water quality specialists looking into the situation and we hope we can resolve this issue in a timely manner.

Once again thank you for your support. If you have any questions please contact City Hall and they will direct you to the appropriate department, 810-679-2299.
