What's on the ballot in Rust Township, Montmorency County

Shall the voted allocated Montmorency County millage rate of 5.7500 mills ($5.75 per $1,000 of taxable value), reduced to 4.8204 mills ($4.8204 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be increased by up to 0.9296 mills ($0.9296 per $1,000 of taxable value) to the 1976 original allocated rate to recover that millage reduction and be levied by Montmorency County for Eight (8) years (2026-2034 inclusive), for general operating purposes? If approved and levied in full, this Millage will raise an estimated additional $643,427 for general County operating purposes in the first calendar year of the levy based on state taxable valuation.

This proposal will permit the intermediate school district to continue to levy special education millage previously approved by the electors. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 1.2872 mills ($1.2872 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Alpena-Montmorency-Alcona Educational Service District, Michigan, to provide funds for the education of students with a disability, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2027 to 2036, inclusive; the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2027 is approximately $3,536,404 from local property taxes authorized herein (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2026 tax levy)?
