This proposal will allow the Township to continue to levy that portion of 1.50 mills previously approved by electors to fund police protection in Northfield Township which is scheduled to expire with the 2010 levy. This millage has been reduced by operation of the Headlee amendment to 1.4603 mills.
As a renewal of previously authorized millage which will expire with the 2010 levy, 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 by 1.4603 mills ($1.4603 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of five (5) years, 2011 to 2015, inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for police protection in Northfield Township? It is estimated that 1.4603 mills would raise approximately $480,646.30 when first levied in 2011.
