Headlee Override Ballot Language

BALLOT PROPOSAL

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

MONROE COUNTY, MICHIGAN

COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT OF MONROE

HEADLEE OVERRIDE

This millage proposal, if approved, would allow the Community College District of Monroe County to restore the levy up to, but not more than, the 2.25 mills previously approved by the voters of Monroe County, to provide in part the funds to operate and maintain Monroe County Community College. The levy authorized by this proposition of .0706 mills represents a restoration of the authority, which was reduced by application of the Headlee Amendment.

Shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all taxable property in the Community College District of Monroe County, County of Monroe, State of Michigan, as defined by law, be increased up to the 2.25 mill ($2.25 on each $1,000) previously approved by the electors for five (5) years, 2025 to 2029, inclusive, to provide funds to operate Monroe County Community College and to restore any Headlee Reduction which may occur from 2025 to 2029? Of the 2.25 mills, .0706 represents that portion authorized previously by the electors as reduced by operation of the Headlee Amendment. It is estimated that the revenue the Community College District of Monroe County will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the 2025 calendar year shall be approximately $535,912 from the local taxes authorized in this proposal.
