Question 3: Fire Equipment Millage Renewal Proposition

Shall the previously authorized millage rate limitation under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes in Crystal Township, Oceana County, Michigan, of 0.5 mill ($0.50 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation), reduced to 0.4818 mill ($0.4818 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) by the required millage rollbacks under the Headlee Amendment, be renewed and restored to the originally voted 0.5 mill ($0.50 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) by an increase of 0.0182 mill ($0.0182 per $1,000.00 of taxable valuation), and levied for a period of four (4) years, 2027 through 2030 inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for the purchase and maintenance of firefighting tools, equipment, and gear?
It is estimated that a levy of 0.5 mill would provide revenue of $15,612 in the first calendar year. The revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Township of Crystal for the purchase and maintenance of firefighting tools, equipment, and gear.
