This proposal is for a renewal and combination of two millages expiring in 2016 (rolled back under the Headlee Amendment): the 0.25 mills parks and recreation millage and the 0.40 mills parks and land preservation millage. May Ada Township levy up to 0.65 mills ($0.65 per $1,000 of taxable value) to provide funds for purposes of parks, recreation, and land preservation, for a period of ten (10) years beginning in the year 2017 and continuing through the year 2026? These purposes include constructing, equipping, operating, acquiring and maintaining land, buildings and improvements for parks, preserves and recreational facilities; and financing for any of these purposes. The Township estimates that this levy would raise $612,277 in its first year.
