PROPOSAL SECTION
Chelsea School District Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance. The remaining 1.1437 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction.

Chelsea School District Sinking Fund Millage Proposal

This proposal will allow the school district to replace the building and site sinking fund millage previously approved by the electors

Washtenaw Community College Operating Millage Renewal Proposal

This proposal will permit the College to continue to levy up to 0.85 mill that was previously approved by electors to fund operations for 10 years. Of the 0.85 mill, 0.8109 mill represents a renewal of the 0.85 mill authorization approved by the electors in 2016, which will expire with the 2026 tax levy, and 0.0391 mill represents a restoration of that portion of the same millage authority which was reduced by application of the Headlee Amendment.

Full ballot language for each of these proposals may be obtained at the local clerk’s office or online at https://www.washtenaw.org/304/Elections Persons with special needs as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act should contact the clerk’s office.
