Question 1: Public Safety Millage Renewal Proposal

This proposal will allow Van Buren County to continue to levy 0.5332 mill, which was previously approved by the electors to fund drug enforcement and road patrol services, but will expire with the 2026 levy.
Shall Van Buren County levy 0.5332 mill ($0.5332 per thousand dollars of taxable value), for a period of four (4) years, 2027 to 2030, inclusive, for the exclusive purpose of providing funds for the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office for Drug Enforcement and Road Patrol? This is a renewal of previously authorized millage which will expire with the 2026 levy.
It is estimated that 0.5332 mill would raise approximately $2,380,982 when first levied in 2027.
