This proposal will permit the Township to fund all fire and medical rescue services by authorizing a single new consolidated millage in place of four separate existing millage authorizations previously approved by the electors.
To replace and rescind the previous millage authorizations of 0.50 mill approved in 2004 for medical rescue service, 0.50 mill approved in 2004 for medical rescue service, 0.50 mill approved in 2004 for fire protection service, and .50 mill approved in 2004 for fire service equipment, shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Township of Northfield, County of Washtenaw, Michigan, be increased, as provided by Section 6 of Article IX of the Michigan Constitution, 1963, by 1.9240 mills ($1.92 on each $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 3 years beginning in the year 2008 and ending in the year 2010, as new additional millage, for the purpose of providing funds for all lawful fire and medical rescue services including equipment. If approved and levied in its entirety in 2008, the millage would raise an estimated $713,000.
