PROPOSAL NO. 1 -- 0.9441 MILL FOR FIRE PROTECTION PURPOSES
Shall the increase in the Township of Grattan tax rate limitation, currently .9441 mill ($0.9441 per $1,000 of taxable value), be renewed and levied in the years 2009-2012, both inclusive, subject to reduction as provided by law, on taxable property in the Township? The purpose of this millage levy is to provide fire protection within the Township, including the operation of the Township fire department and the acquisition and maintenance of fire and rescue vehicles and apparatus and real property and improvements, used for fire protection purposes. It is estimated that a levy of .9441 mill would provide revenue of $152,015.40 in the first calendar year. The revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Township of Grattan.
