Shall the authorized charter millage for the Charter Township of Pennfield, established at 3 mills ($3.00 per $1,000.00 of taxable value) be increased up to an additional 1.50 mills ($1.50 per $1,000.00 of taxable value) for one year, 2013, with revenues from this millage to be used by Pennfield Charter Township for the purposes of Police and Fire protection, raising in the first year of levy an estimated $297,840.00?
This proposal will allow the Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority to continue the same number of mills required to be levied on all property at .50 mills, to enable it to continue to operate as an ambulance authority. This is not an increase in tax over the same tax that has been levied for the past ten years, but a continuation of the same operation millage. Shall the existing tax rate limitation previously approved by the electors of the Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority, Calhoun County, Michigan, .50 mills ($0.50 on each $1,000.00 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2004 through 2013, inclusive, be renewed at .50 mills ($0.50 on each $1,000.00 of the taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2014 through 2023, inclusive, as a renewal millage to provide operating funds for the Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority. It is estimated that the revenue the Ambulance Authority will collect, if the millage is approved and levied in the 2014 calendar year, is approximately $360,499.
