BALLOT QUESTION
Older Persons Commission (OPC) Millage Renewal Plus Additional Millage
Shall the City of Rochester Hills renew and continue to levy 0.0891 mills ($0.0891 per $1,000) (reduced by the Headlee Amendment from the original 0.09 mills) and also levy a new additional 0.0109 mills ($0.0109 per $1,000) for a total of 0.1 mills ($.10 per $1,000) to provide funds to the Older Persons Commission to enable it to maintain or increase handicapped and senior transportation services, on the taxable value of all property assessed for taxes in the City for eleven (11) years, beginning Fiscal Year 2016 and continuing through Fiscal Year 2026, inclusive, which will provide an estimated revenue of $318,215 if levied in full in the first year of such levy?
_____________ Yes
_____________ No
(Explanatory Note: Pursuant to MCL 211.24f(5), the city is authorized to submit a single question asking for the renewal of a millage and an additional millage so long as the additional millage is not greater than 0.5 mills. The 2005 ballot approved 0.09 mills, which has been reduced by Headlee to the present OPC transportation millage of 0.0891 mills. The OPC would like to increase the total millage back to the original 0.09 mills, plus add an additional .01 mills for a total millage of 0.1 mills. As the difference between these two is 0.0109 mills, the city may pursuant to statute, request for a renewal of the present millage and additional 0.0109 mills in one ballot question.)
