BALLOT QUESTION
Rochester-Avon Recreation Authority (RARA) Millage Renewal
Shall the City of Rochester Hills renew and continue to levy the 0.1571 mill ($0.1571 per $1,000) (reduced by the Headlee Amendment from the original 0.1691 mill) and also levy a new additional 0.0379 mill ($0.0379 per $1,000) for a total of 0.1950 mill ($0.1950 per $1,000) to provide funds for the Rochester-Avon Recreation Authority (RARA) to enable it to provide adult and youth sports leagues and recreational activities, on the taxable value of all property assessed for taxes in the City for ten (10) years, beginning in 2006 and continuing through 2015, inclusive, which will provide an estimated revenue of $702,390 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 mill. Most recently the citizens approved a RARA millage of 0.1691, which has been reduced by Headlee to 0.1572 mill. The RARA millage expires this year and RARA would like to renew the present millage and increase the total millage to 0.1950 mill. As the additional millage increase is 0.0378 mill, the city may request for a renewal of the present millage and additional 0.0378 mill in one ballot question.)
