Jail Operations Millage Renewal and Restoration Proposal -

For the sole purpose of continuing to provide funds for Benzie County Jail Operations at the same millage level approved by the voters in 2009 and 2015, shall the previously voted increase on the Constitutional limitation upon the total amount of taxes which may be assessed in one (1) year upon all property within the County of Benzie County, Michigan be renewed and continued at 0.8828 of one (1) mill, and shall the previously authorized reduced millage of .0172 of one (1) mill be restored, for a return to the previously voted total limitation increase of 0.9000 mill ($0.90 per $1,000.00 taxable value), and be levied for a period of three (3) years (2021-2023), inclusive? If approved and levied in full, this millage will raise an estimated $1,225,528.39 to fund County Jail Operations in the first calendar year of the levy based upon taxable value. In accordance with State law, a small portion of the millage may be captured by the City of Frankfort Downtown Development Authority and the Benzie County Brownfield Authority.
