What's on the ballot in City of South Haven, Allegan County

For the purpose of providing funds for the operation of the Allegan Conservation District, including programs to assist landowners in the protection and enhancement of natural resources, environmental education, and environmental remediation within Allegan County, shall Allegan County be authorized to levy a millage annually in an amount not to exceed 0.0943 mill ($0.0943 per each $1,000 of taxable value), which is a renewal of the previously authorized millage rate that expires in 2026, against all taxable property within Allegan County, for a period of six (6) years, 2027 through 2032, inclusive? The estimate of the revenue the County will collect in the first year (2027) if the millage is approved and levied by the County is approximately $795,241.

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. The school district is required to levy 18 mills for operating purposes to receive its full revenue per pupil foundation allowance from the State of Michigan. 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 South Haven Public Schools, Van Buren and Allegan Counties, Michigan, be increased by 4 mills ($4.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 4 years, 2027 to 2030, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and .0576 mill of the 4 mills is levied in 2027 is approximately $50,700 (this millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
