Proposal P Parks Millage Continuation
To continue the millage authorized in 2010, shall Wayne County levy this millage at the estimated 2015 rollback rate of .2459
(about 25 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation) for five more years (2016 through 2020) to continue to improve and operate sev-
eral parks and related facilities, including Hines Park, Elizabeth Park, Chandler Park, and improvements to municipal parks in
the 43 communities as provided in an implementing ordinance through an annual allocation by commission district of the greater
of $50,000 or 15% of the total funds generated from that district, on the condition that, for any year for which this continued levy
would be imposed, Wayne County must budget from other sources an amount equal to its 1995-1996 fiscal year appropriation
for parks? This renewal is projected to generate $9,865,514 in 2016. _____Yes _____No
Wayne County Zoological Authority Renewal Millage
The Wayne County Zoological Authority was established pursuant to Public Act 49 of 2008 and formed to allow for continuing
zoological services for the students, residents, and visitors of Wayne County. The law allows the Authority to seek authorization
from the electors to levy a tax on real and personal property to provide revenue to an accredited zoological institution for this
purpose. Accordingly, as a renewal of the previously approved millage authorization which expires with the 2017 tax levy, to
continue providing zoological services to benefit the residents of the County, shall the 0.1 mill (10 cents per $1,000 of taxable
value) on all of the taxable property located within the County continue to be imposed for a period of ten (10) years, being years
2018 through 2027? It is estimated that if approved and levied, this millage would generate approximately $3,940,066.55 in
2018. Shall this proposal be adopted?
_____Yes _____No
