Question 7: Library Millage Proposal

Shall the Hancock Area District Library, County of Houghton, Michigan, be authorized to levy annually a new additional millage in an amount not to exceed 0.70 mill ($0.70 per each
$1,000 of taxable value) against all taxable property within the Hancock Area District
Library district for a period of five (5) years, 2026 through 2030, inclusive, for the purpose of
providing funds for all district library purposes authorized by law? The estimate of the
revenue the Hancock Area District Library will collect if the millage is approved and levied
by the Hancock Area District Library in the first year (2026) is approximately $200,000. By
law, a portion of the revenue from the millage may be subject to capture by the Houghton
County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
