• Prohibit unreasonable searches or seizures of a person’s electronic data and electronic communications.

For the purpose of renewing funding at the same millage level previously approved by the voters in 2016 for a transportation system to be used primarily by elderly and disabled persons in Ingham
County, 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, previously increased by up to
0.6000 mills, $0.60 per $1,000 of taxable value, be continued and renewed for a period of six (6) years (2021-2026) inclusive? If approved and levied in full, this Millage will raise an estimated additional
$4,609,732 for the transportation system in the first calendar year of the levy based on state taxable valuation.
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, required for the
school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance and renews millage that will expire with the 2020 tax levy.
Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 19.71 mills ($19.71 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal
residence and other property exempted by law, in Dansville Schools, Ingham County, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 7 years, 2021 to 2027, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the
estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18 mills are levied in 2021 is approximately $904,779 (this is a renewal of millage that will expire with the 2020 tax
levy)?
EATON RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS PROPOSAL
EATON RAPIDS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
BONDING PROPOSAL
Shall Eaton Rapids Public Schools, Eaton and Ingham Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Forty-Five Million One Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($45,175,000) and issue its
general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of:
remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, and equipping and re-equipping school buildings; acquiring and installing instructional technology in school buildings; purchasing school buses; erecting,
furnishing, and equipping a gymnasium addition to Lockwood Elementary School; erecting, preparing, developing, improving, and equipping athletic fields, facilities, and structures; and preparing,
developing, improving, and equipping playgrounds and sites?
The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2021, under current law, is 0.32 mill ($0.32 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a -0- mill net increase over the prior year’s levy. The
maximum number of years the bonds of any series may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is thirty (30) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire
this bond debt is 2.96 mills ($2.96 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation).
The school district expects to borrow from the State School Bond Qualification and Loan Program to pay debt service on these bonds. The estimated total principal amount of that borrowing is
$6,370,778 and the estimated total interest to be paid thereon is $3,595,862. The estimated duration of the millage levy associated with that borrowing is 15 years and the estimated computed millage
rate for such levy is 7 mills. The estimated computed millage rate may change based on changes in certain circumstances.
The total amount of qualified bonds currently outstanding is $33,225,000. The total amount of qualified loans currently outstanding is approximately $1,029.
(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating
expenses.)
