Shall the County of Lapeer, Michigan, be authorized to levy upon the taxable value of all property subject to ad valorem taxation, up to three-quarters (.75) of one mill (75 cents for each $1,000 of taxable value), for a period of up to ten (10) years, 2010 through 2019 inclusive, for the purpose of replacing outdated analog radio equipment for Fire, Police and Emergency Medical Service with updated digital radio equipment and other equipment necessary for the 9-1-1 Central Dispatch System to effectively provide and ensure twenty-four hour public safety communications service for the citizens, communities, and public safety responders of Lapeer County? This millage would raise an estimated $2,134,111.25 first year collection, if the millage is approved and levied in the first year of the levy.
Shall the County of Lapeer renew the present county millage originally approved in 2004 of (.25) mill (25 cents for each $1,000 of the taxable value) against all property in Lapeer County with this same amount for a period of 4 years commencing in 2011 to be used to maintain senior citizen services, including but not limited to: Meals on Wheels, Personal Care and Respite Care? If levied in its entirety, it is estimated that (.25) mill would generate approximately $647,347 in the first year of such levy. To the extent required by law, a small portion of the total revenues from the tax levy (estimated to be approximately 2% in the first year of the levy) will be captured within the districts of and disbursed to the following authorities: Imlay City Downtown Development Authority, Village of Clifford Downtown Development Authority, Village of Columbiaville Downtown Development Authority, Village of Dryden Downtown Development Authority.
This proposal renews the operating fund millage that was approved by the electors in 2006 and expires with the 2010 tax levy. Shall the Public Authority, Greater Lapeer Transportation Authority (GLTA) as provided for by Public Act 196 of 1986, for the purpose of supplementing the local funding needed for all aspects of a Public Transportation System, levy a tax of 1/4 mill (.25 mill-that being twenty-five cents per thousand dollars of taxable valuation) on real and personal property located within the townships of Deerfield, Elba, Lapeer, Mayfield, and Oregon and the City of Lapeer, for a period of five (5) years, 2011 to 2015, passed by a simple majority of the entire district? If the millage is approved and levied in the 2011 calendar year, it is estimated to raise $290,000.00 in its first year.
Shall the constitutional limitation upon the total amount of taxes which may be levied on all taxable real and personal property in the Township of Almont, Lapeer County, Michigan be increased by one (1) mill for each one ($1.00) dollar ($1.00 for each $1,000.00) of the taxable value of such property, as finally equalized, pursuant to 33 PA 1951, as amended, for a period of five (5) years (2011 through 2015 inclusive) for the purpose of providing funds for the operation and maintenance of the Township Fire Department, purchase of fire extinguishing apparatus and equipment and housing for the same? The estimated revenue to be collected in the first year that the millage is authorized and levied is $203,255.00. The proposed millage is a RENEWAL of a previously-authorized millage and does not constitute new additional millage.
Shall the Township of Deerfield raise money by special assessment for the purpose of police protection for the five fiscal years beginning 2010-2011 with the following maximum assessments: Twenty-five and 00/100 ($25.00) dollars per year for each dwelling unit, commercial building, and industrial building but not include barns, garages, or sheds: and Five and 00/100 ($5.00) dollars per year for each parcel of property that is vacant or contains no buildings other than barns, garages, or sheds.

The renewal would result in estimated revenue of $75,506.80 in the first year of renewal.
Shall the previously authorized millage increase in the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes within Metamora Township, Lapeer County, be renewed as presently reduced by the required millage rollbacks at the rate of 2.1831 mills ($2.18 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the period 2010-2015 inclusive, for a continuation of the current level of police protection by the Metamora Township Police Department; and shall the Township levy such renewal in millage for said purpose, thereby raising in the first year an estimated $472,280.
