Pontiac says snow emergency continues; City Hall to close Monday for MLK holiday

S1 (Unidentified Speaker) said the snow emergency in Pontiac is still in effect and that city crews are “working hard to hit all the streets, to deal with the snow and the icy conditions still going on.”

The announcement said Pontiac City Hall will be closed Monday, Jan. 19, in observance of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday; the speaker noted the closure when outlining service impacts. The statement did not specify which services (for example, permitting or public works offices) will be closed or how emergency or essential services will be handled during the closure.

City crews were described as actively responding to snow- and ice-related conditions; no timelines or street-priority lists were provided. The speaker did not specify resource levels, the number of crews deployed, or estimated clearance times. Residents seeking updates should consult Pontiac City Hall communications for operational details and any shifts to service availability.

The briefing included other community announcements, but the snow emergency and the Jan. 19 closure were presented as the immediate public-safety and schedule items.
