Title
Request for Approval for the Special Police Millage Renewal Ballot Language to be placed on the November 7, 2023 General Election Ballot
Body
Resolved, that the Rochester Hills City Council hereby approves placing the following Proposal on the November 7, 2023 General Election Ballot:
BALLOT QUESTION
RENEWAL OF SPECIAL POLICE MILLAGE
The City of Rochester Hills funds police services through two (2) Special Police Millages which total 3.4864 mills [Special Police I = 1.1359 mill and Special Police II = 2.3505 mill]. These Special Police Millages will expire after their final levy this year to provide funding for the City’s Fiscal Year 2024.
Shall the City of Rochester Hills be authorized to continue to levy up to a total of 3.4864 mills ($3.4864 per $1,000.00) on the taxable value of property located in the City for ten (10) years, beginning in 2024 (for Fiscal Year 2025) and continuing through 2033 (for Fiscal Year 2034), inclusive, which would raise an estimated $15,916,040.00 in the first year if levied in full, for the purpose of funding and maintaining police protection, services, and operations. If approved, this will renew previously authorized, but expiring, Special Police Millages.
