Question 1: Otsego County Ems and Rescue System

This millage is a renewal of the previously approved millage and will permit the County to continue to
levy up to 0.78 mills ($0.78 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) to provide funds for the continued
operations, maintenance, capital improvements, and capital purchases for the Otsego County
Emergency Medical Services and Rescue System.
Shall the constitutional tax rate limitation on general ad valorem taxes which may be levied by the
County of Otsego, State of Michigan, against taxable property in the County be increased by up to 0.78
mills ($0.78 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) on the taxable value of such property for a period of five
(5) years, 2028 through 2032, both inclusive, to provide funds for the continued operations,
maintenance, capital improvements, and capital purchases for the Otsego County Emergency Medical
Services and Rescue System and shall the Otsego County Board of Commissioners be authorized to levy
such millage for these purposes? If approved and levied in its entirety, this millage would raise an
estimated $1,580,482 for Otsego County in 2028. By law, the City of Gaylord Downtown Development
Authority (DDA) may capture and retain only that portion of the millage which is collected from the
properties located within the defined DDA District boundaries.
