Millage Renewal I - Fire Protection Services

Shall the previously voted increase in the constitutional tax rate limitation of general ad valorem taxes within Township of Cascade of 0.25 mills, reduced to 0.2272 mills (22.72 cents per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed at 0.2272 mills for a period of twenty (20) years, 2008 through 2027, inclusive, for the purpose of purchasing new equipment necessary for providing fire protection services, providing firefighter wages and benefits, and providing continuous, 24-hour fire protection coverage at two stations within the Township? This millage renewal would raise an estimated $324,937 in the first year of the levy. To the extent required by law, a small portion of the tax levy revenues (approximately $16,119 in the first year) will be captured and disbursed to the Township's Downtown Development Authority for its use.
