An amendment to Section 6.01 of Article VI, Taxation, of the City Charter to restore the tax levy of 0.9789 mills for Public Transit purposes
This amendment authorizes, in any year a millage is NOT otherwise levied for countywide or regional public transit, or when needed to supplement a countywide or regional millage approved by City Council, a tax of 0.9789 mills solely for public transit purposes. Approval increases the tax levy by 0.9789 mills as new additional millage in excess of the legal limitation, restoring the authorized Charter millage to 20 mills, since reduced by the Headlee amendment. It is estimated if levied, 0.9789 mills would raise approximately $281,429 in 2011.
Shall the proposed amendment be adopted?
