AND FOR THE PURPOSE OF VOTING ON THE FOLLOWING PROPOSALS:
Oakland County Parks and Recreation Millage - The Oakland County Parks System includes 17 park locations with nearly 7,200 acres of public park and recreational lands, 80 miles of trails, campgrounds, dog parks, golf courses, aquatic recreation facilities, and nature education centers. To continue to provide revenue to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, shall the current millage, which has been reduced by required rollback, be replaced, and increased to .65 mills for 20 years from 2024 to 2043, The .65 mills is equal to 65 cents per $1,000.00 of taxable value. The millage, if approved and levied, shall generate approximately $52,191,139 in 2024. The purpose of the millage is to expand, improve, operate, maintain, and acquire parks, recreational facilities, open spaces, lakes, rivers, water areas, and trailways; to support nature education, recreational, and outdoor educational and health programming; to support partnerships for access to and awareness of recreational lands and facilities; to promote the conservation and restoration of high-quality natural and wildlife habitats; and to allow free general park admission to all county parks for residents. Revenue from this millage shall be disbursed only to the County of Oakland to be used solely for the purpose of funding the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and shall be subject to oversight by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and to an independent audit. Should the proposal be adopted?
Operating Millage Renewal Proposal – Clarkston Community Schools (Qualified Electors of Clarkston Community Schools Only) 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 7.8457 mills are only available to be levied to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the “Headlee” amendment to the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will only be levied to the extent necessary to restore that reduction. Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in Clarkston Community Schools, Oakland County, Michigan, be renewed by 25.8457 mills ($25.8457 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 10 years, 2026 to 2035, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2026 is approximately $10,217,813 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2025 tax levy)?
Operating Millage Replacement Proposal – Walled Lake Consolidated Schools (Qualified Electors of Clarkston Community Schools Only) This proposal would replace, restore and extend the authority of the School District, which expires with the 2025 tax levy, to levy up to 18.00 mills for general school district operating purposes on taxable property in the School District to the extent that such property is not exempt from such levy, restrict the levy on principal residences (owner-occupied homes) to no more than 3.6297 mills and protect against the impact of future Headlee rollbacks of up to 3.0 mills. This authorization would allow the School District to continue to levy the statutory limit of 18.00 mills on non-homestead property (principally industrial and commercial real property and residential rental property) and to continue to levy on principal residence property (owner occupied homes) only that portion of the mills necessary to allow the School District to receive the full revenue per pupil foundation allowance permitted by the Stat e. The School District only levied 0.3086 mills on personal residences (owner occupied homes) in 2024. Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Walled Lake Consolidated School District, County of Oakland, Michigan, be increased in the amount of 21 mills, with 18 mills being the maximum allowable levy ($18.0 0 per $1,000 of taxable value), to the extent such property is not statutorily exempt, and of which not more than 3.6297 mills may be imposed on principal residences, for fourteen (14) years, the years 2024 to 2037, inclusive? This operating millage, if approved and levied, would provide estimated revenues to the School District of $3,232,239 during the 2024 calendar year, to be used for general operating purposes.
