What's on the ballot in Littlefield Township, Emmet County

Shall the previously authorized increase in tax limitation on all taxable property in Littlefield Township, Emmet County, that expired in 2025 be renewed and the Township be authorized to levy annually an amount not to exceed .3322 mill ($0.3322 per each $1,000 of taxable value) against all taxable property in the Township for a period of four (4) years, 2026 through 2029, inclusive, to provide funds for operating, maintaining, equipping, and funding the Alanson Area Public Library and for all other library purposes authorized by law? The estimate of the revenue the Township will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the first year of levy (2026) is approximately $68,000. Revenue from this millage levy will be disbursed to the Alanson Area Public Library.

This proposal will restore the authority of the College to levy 0.9946 mill for general operating purposes for 10 years. Of the 0.9946 mill, 0.9141 mill represents a renewal of the authorization previously approved by the electors in 2016, which will expire with the 2026 levy and 0.0805 mill represents a restoration of that portion of the same millage authority which was reduced by application of the Headlee Amendment. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be levied on taxable property within the North Central Michigan College district, County of Emmet State of Michigan, be increased by 0.9946 mill ($0.9946 per $1,000 of taxable value) for ten (10) years, from 2027 to 2036, inclusive, as a renewal of the 0.9141 mill previously authorized by the electors which expires with the 2026 levy plus new additional millage in the amount of 0.0805 mill, to provide funds for operating purposes? It is estimated that 0.9946 mill would provide approximately $4,660,486 when first levied in 2027.
