EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE (911 SERVICE) MILLAGE RENEWAL AND RESTORATION QUESTION
For the purpose of renewing and restoring funding for a comprehensive countywide 911 Emergency Telephone and Dispatch System at the same millage level previously approved by the voters in 1996, 2000, and in 2004, shall the Constitutional limitation upon the total amount of taxes which may be assessed in one (1) year upon all property within the County of Ingham, Michigan, be renewed at 0.8431 of one (1) mill, and shall the previously authorized reduced millage of 0.0069 of one (1) mill be restored, for a return to the previously voted total limitation increase of 0.8500 mill ($0.8500 per $1,000 of Taxable Value) for a period of four (4) years (2008-2011) inclusive? (If approved and levied in full, this millage will raise an estimated $6,790,381 for the countywide 911 Emergency Telephone and Dispatch System in the first calendar year of the levy based on taxable value. If approved and levied, a portion of the millage may be distributed to the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing for 911 operations in the Ingham County 911 Service Plan.
