What's on the ballot in City of Saginaw, Saginaw County

"For the purpose of replacing outdated radio equipment for Fire, Police and Emergency Medical Services and other equipment necessary for the 9-1-1 Central Dispatch System to effectively provide and ensure twenty-four hour public safety communications service to the citizens, communities and public responders of Saginaw County and for otherwise continuing operations of the Saginaw County 9-1-1 Authority, shall the County of Saginaw, Michigan (hereafter 'County') renew the previously authorized amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed for all purposes upon all taxable real and personal property in Saginaw County, as provided in Article 9, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963, as amended, which last resulted in a levy of 0.2800 Mill, and continue to levy up to 0.2800 Mill ($0.2800 per $1,000) of taxable valuation of such property as finally equalized during the years 2028-2037, both inclusive, which if approved and levied in its entirety is estimated to raise $2,031,015 in the first year?"

The present section limits the property tax rate to the lesser of 7.5 mills or that needed to yield the same revenue as was received in the 1978-1979 fiscal year ($3,828,778). It also provides for a temporary 3 mill additional tax for a declared emergency. The proposed amendment would eliminate the tax cap on the gross dollar amount of revenue that may be levied but otherwise maintains all other provisions, including the number of mills that may be levied. Shall this proposal be adopted?

This proposal will allow the intermediate school district to continue to levy millage previously approved by the electors for area career and technical education programs and restores millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of .9962 mill ($0.9962 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Saginaw Intermediate School District, Michigan, to provide funds for area career and technical education programs, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2028 to 2037, inclusive; and also be increased by .0038 mill ($0.0038 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2028 to 2037, inclusive, the estimate of the revenue the intermediate school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2028 is approximately $7,082,354 from local property taxes authorized herein (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2027 tax levy and a restoration of millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963)?
