Proposition 3 - Proposal To Renew Recycling Millage

This proposal reestablishes the .15 mills recycling millage previously approved by the electors that expired after the December, 2023 levy. Specifically, the proposal renews the current .1466 mills that was last levied and restores the .0034 mills previously rolled back by the Headlee Amendment. Shall the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be levied by the County of Charlevoix, State of Michigan, against taxable property in the County be increased by up to .15 mills ($.15 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of four (4) years, 2024 through 2027, inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for recycling services within the county, including capital purchases, and shall the Charlevoix County Board of Commissioners be authorized to levy such millage for these purposes? If approved and levied in its entirety, this millage would raise an estimated $444,392 for Charlevoix County in 2024.
