Aug 6 Ballot – White Lake Township Park and Recreation Millage Renewal
White Lake Township, MI – Shall the previously authorized increase in the tax limitations on all taxable property within the Charter Township of White Lake, established at 0.30 mills ($0.30 per $1,000 of taxable value) and reduced by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed at the reduced amount of 0.2845 mills ($0.2845 per $1,000 of taxable value) and, to restore lost millage, be increased by the amount of 0.0155 mills ($0.0155 per $1,000 of taxable value) both for ten (10) years, 2024 through 2033, inclusive, to provide funds for all park and recreational uses permitted by law, including but not limited to maintaining, improving, purchasing, constructing or acquiring property, property interests, trails, pathways and facilities for park and recreational purposes, and shall the township be authorized to levy this millage on all taxable property in the township raising an estimated $474,920 in the first year of the levy?
The proposed millage is a renewal of a previously authorized millage and restoration of previously authorized millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963. To the extent required by law, a portion of the proposed millage will be captured by and disbursed to the White Lake Township Corridor Improvement Authority to fund the Authority’s purposes, including without limitation acquisition and construction of public improvements within the Authority’s Development Area, pursuant to the Authority’s Development Plan and Tax Increment Financing Plan, and to such other or fewer local units of government as the Township Board determines appropriate.
Several communities have proposals on the ballot. For the full list and more election information visit the Oakland County Clerk’s website.
