PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the City of Farmington Hills will be electing candidates to the following offices:

 

MAYOR -- Vote for One -- 2 Year Term

COUNCIL MEMBER -- Vote for Three -- 4 Year Term

And for the purpose of voting on the following proposals as presented and listed below:

Farmington Hills Charter Amendment Public Safety Millage

Shall Section 7.02c of the Farmington Hills City Charter be amended to allow a renewal of the previous voter-approved additional special tax rate for purposes of the public safety functions of the Fire and Police Departments by authorizing the City to levy a millage in the amount of 1.4764 mills (being $1.48 per $1,000 of taxable value) for ten years, starting with the July 2026 levy (resulting in the authorization to collect an estimated $7,269,000 in the first year if approved and levied), which taxes are to be used only for purposes of fire and police staffing and equipment?

Clarenceville School District Operating Millage Proposition Exempting Principal Residence and Other Homestead Property (Precinct 27 only)

This millage will allow the school district to levy not more than the statutory rate of 18.0000 mills on all property except homestead property and other property exempt by law as required for the school district to continue to receive its full per pupil foundation allowance.

Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all taxable property, except principal residence and other homestead property as defined by law, in Clarenceville School District, Counties of Oakland and Wayne, State of Michigan, be increased to 19.0000 mills ($19.00 on each $1,000 of taxable value) for ten (10) years, calendar years 2026 to 2035, inclusive, to provide in part the funds to operate and maintain the school system? It is estimated that the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and 18.0000 mills are levied in the 2026 calendar year will be approximately $3,244,122 from the local taxes authorized in this proposal. Revenues will be disbursed to Clarenceville School District.

Clarenceville School District Building and Site Bond Proposal (Precinct 27 only)

Shall Clarenceville School District, Oakland and Wayne Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Twenty-Nine Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($29,250,000) and issue its unlimited tax general obligation bonds therefore, for the purpose of defraying all or part of the cost of:

Erecting, remodeling, and equipping or reequipping school buildings, including structures, athletic fields, playgrounds, or other facilities, or parts of or additions to those facilities; furnishing or refurnishing new or remodeled school buildings; acquiring, preparing, developing, or improving sites, or parts of or additions to sites, for school buildings, including structures, athletic fields, playgrounds, or other facilities; acquiring, installing, or equipping or reequipping school buildings for technology? 

The following is for informational purposes only: 

Under current law, the estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in the year 2026, the first year that the levy will be authorized, is 3.68 mills ($3.68 per $1,000 of taxable valuation). The bonds may be issued in one or more series and may be outstanding for a maximum of twenty (20) years, exclusive of any refunding. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 3.36 mills ($3.36 per $1,000 of taxable valuation). 

(Pursuant to State law, expenditures 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.)
