BUILDING AND SITE SINKING FUND MILLAGE RENEWAL PROPOSAL
This proposal, if approved by the electors, will continue the authority last approved by the electors in 2018 and which expires with the 2023 levy for the Bloomfield Hills Schools to levy a building and site sinking fund millage, the proceeds of which will be used to make improvements and repairs to the School District’s facilities. Pursuant to State law, the expenditure of the building and site sinking fund millage proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee salaries, maintenance, or other operating expenses.
Shall the Bloomfield Hills Schools, County of Oakland, Michigan, be authorized to continue to levy 0.6976 mills ($0.70 per $1,000 of taxable valuation), for a period of three (3) years, being the years 2024 to 2026, inclusive, to create a building and site sinking fund to be used for the construction or repair of school buildings, school security improvements, the acquisition or upgrading of technology; the acquisition of student transportation vehicles, trucks and vans registered under the Michigan vehicle code, parts, supplies, and equipment used for the maintenance of these vehicles or for other purposes permitted by law? This millage would provide estimated revenues to the School District of approximately $3,380,000 during the 2024 calendar year, if approved and levied.
