A special thanks goes to the City Communications Department, and Information Systems Manager, and their creative staff for developing this convenient website. No delays or a number of confusing clicks. Residents can access any city department quickly. This new website enables you to get information with two clicks. To make it easier for Warren residents to access more information and city services and to show we do care, the city’s website has been redesigned. Warren offers a wide variety of services to our residents ranging from issuing birth certificates and dog licenses to parks and recreation and library activities. “The City That Cares.” This is how I want the residents of Warren to feel about the services the city provides.
