In support of the continued operation of the Baroda-Lake Police Department, and in order to keep providing full time police services to Baroda Township residents, shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed under Article XI, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution against the taxable valuation of all real and personal property in Baroda Township liable for taxation, including that land and personal property lying in the Village of Baroda, be increased by a new millage of 1.3601 mills ($1.3601 per $1,000 of taxable valuation, as equalized).
