Bonding Proposal For $11,910,000

Shall Northview Public Schools, Kent County, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Eleven Million Nine Hundred Ten Thousand Dollars ($11,910,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, for the purpose of: erecting additions to the high school; remodeling, equipping and re-equipping and furnishing and refurnishing the high school; acquiring, installing, equipping and re-equipping the high school for instructional technology; and developing and improving the site? The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2012, under current law, is 1.22 mills ($1.22 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is thirty (30) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 1.41 mills ($1.41 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). If the school district borrows from the State to pay debt service on the bonds, the school district may be required to continue to levy mills beyond the term of the bonds to repay the State. (Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)
