Capital Improvements Millage
Replaces the expiring 1.0-mill capital-improvements millage for 10 years from July 2027 (~$5.4M/year) for parks, facilities, land, pathways and apparatus — not operations or payroll.
Cost to you: About $100/year per $100,000 of taxable value (continues current rate).
Official ballot language
Shall Section 9.1 of the Novi City Charter be amended to authorize a millage for capital improvements and capital projects, including, but not limited to, parks and facilities, land acquisition, pathways, and apparatus (such as fire trucks, heavy equipment), with such funds not to be used for operations or payroll, in the amount of 1.0 mills (being $1 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 10 years, starting with the July 2027 levy and resulting in the authorization to collect an estimated $5,412,997 in the first year if approved and levied, to replace an expiring capital improvements millage?
