The City of Clio is located in northern Genesee County along the I-75 corridor approximately ten miles north of Flint. The City is 1.1 square miles and surrounded physically by Vienna Charter Township. Clio has a population of approximately 2,700 and serves as the hub of a tri-inter-governmental area (Vienna and Thetford Townships and the City of Clio) that is nearly ten times its individual population. Primarily a residential community, Clio boasts a diverse commercial and industrial base, too. The City of Clio is a home rule city, having adopted its current charter in 1961. The City operates under the council-mayor form of government. The mayor is the chief executive officer of city government and is supported by the city administrator, who handles day-to-day administrative duties. A seven-member commission, of which the mayor is a member, constitutes the city's governing body. A full-service city, Clio provides public safety (police, fire, and EMS), public works (water, sewer, road repairs, and snow and ice control), park and recreation facilities (pavilions, park land, and 5+ miles of bike paths. Unique to a community of its size, is Clio's art center, amphitheater, and industrial park--each developed through a community partnership anchored by city government participation. The City is looking ahead through the development of a master plan. This work will guide the City's physical development in concert with its neighbors. The plan will require further efforts in zoning and capital planning. The City of Clio has a future so bright - sunglasses will be part of the official attire.
