Caledonia Township Proposal - Millage Renewal Proposition - 1.5 Mills for Fire Dept and Law Enforcement Services
Shall the previously-approved increase in the Charter Township of Caledonia tax rate limitation be renewed in the years 2012-2017, both inclusive, in the amount of 1.5 mills ($1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value), and levied up to said amount, on taxable property in the Township, subject to reduction as provided by law? This proposal for 1.5 mills is for renewal of current millage, at the same rate as previously authorized. The purpose of the millage levy is to provide fire protection services in the Township, including the operation of the Township Fire Department and the acquisition and maintenance of fire and rescue vehicles, apparatus and equipment, and real property and improvements used for fire protection purposes; and to provide law enforcement services within the Township. It is estimated that a levy of 1.5 mills would provide revenue of $830,821.63 in the first calendar year. The revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Charter Township of Caledonia.
