EATON COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (EATRAN) MILLAGE RENEWAL AUTHORIZATION QUESTION For the purpose of providing funds for the exclusive use of public transportation purposes, to include accommodation for the elderly and handicapped by the Eaton County Transportation Authority (EATRAN), at the same millage level previously approved by the voters in 2012, shall the previously voted increase in the constitutional limitation upon the total amount of taxes which may be assessed in one (1) year upon all property within the County of Eaton, Michigan, be continued and renewed at up to 0.2500 of a mill ($0.25 on each $1,000 dollars of taxable value) for a period of five (5) years, 2017 to 2021, inclusive, and shall the County of Eaton be authorized to levy such millage for said purposes? The estimate of the revenue for the County of Eaton in the 2017 calendar year is approximately $851,100. A small portion of the revenue collected (approximately $11,709 in 2017) may be required to be distributed to Downtown Development Authorities, Tax Increment Financing Authorities, Local Development Financing Authorities and Brownfield Redevelopment Financing Authorities established in cities of Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Potterville & Village of Bellevue.
Shall the City maintain its property taxing capacity at 20 mills for the next five (5) years (from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2022 inclusive), which is .8308 mills in excess of the current Headlee Amendment limit, and allow the City to renew the current levy of 19.44 mills for the purpose of funding essential services, including police protection, fire protection, local road and sidewalk maintenance? For the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017, the continuation of the additional millage levied is estimated to result in $8 million of revenue to be disbursed to the City of Lansing. The City of Lansing currently levies 19.44 mills. While there are no current plans to do so, if this measure is approved, and the City were to levy the additional .56 mills in excess of 19.44 mills to the maximum amount of 20 mills, it would result in an additional $1.12 million in estimated revenue to be disbursed to the City.
Shall the City of Lansing be authorized to sell, or otherwise dispose of, a portion of the Scott Park Property that is the physical structure known as Scott Center Building?
Shall the previous voter approved levy of three (3) mills or $3.00 per $1,000.00 of taxable value (which has been reduced to 2.9566 mills or $2.9566 per $1,000.00 of taxable value as required by the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963) against all properties in the City of Grand Ledge and the Township of Oneida, Eaton County, Michigan be renewed at 2.9566 mills or $2.9566 per $1,000.00 of taxable value by the Grand Ledge Area Emergency Services Authority for emergency services authority operations for the period of five (5) years, 2018 through 2022, inclusive, which levy is estimated to raise an estimated $1,049,206.00 from the December 2018 taxes? A portion of the revenue collected will be distributed to the Downtown Development Authority established in the City of Grand Ledge.
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Portland Public Schools, Ionia, Clinton and Eaton Counties, Michigan, be increased by 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 4 years, 2017 to 2020, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2017 is approximately $1,139,937 (this is a renewal of millage that expired with the 2016 tax levy)?
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the building and site sinking fund millage that expires with the 2016 tax levy. Shall the currently authorized millage rate of 3.50 mills ($3.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) which may be assessed against all property in Potterville Public Schools, Eaton County, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2017 to 2026, inclusive, to continue to provide for a sinking fund for the purchase of real estate for sites for, and the construction or repair of, school buildings and all other purposes authorized by law; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2017 is approximately $413,500 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2016 tax levy)?
