OPERATING MILLAGE
RE-AUTHORIZATION
PROPOSAL
(EXCLUDING PRINCIPAL
RESIDENCE AND OTHER
EXEMPT PROPERTY)
(This millage will allow the School
District to levy not more than the
statutory rate of 18 mills against
non-principal residence and other
non-exempt property required for
the School District to receive its
revenue per pupil foundation
allowance.)
Excepting principal residence
property and other property
exempt by law, shall the
previously approved millage rate
assessed against all other
property in Allendale Public
Schools, Ottawa County,
Michigan, previously approved at
18.0 mills and subsequently
reduced to 17.8326 mills by the
"Headlee Amendment" to the
Michigan Constitution of 1963, be
renewed and increased to 18
mills ($18.00 on each $1,000.00
of taxable value) for two years,
2017 and 2018 inclusive, to
provide funds for school operating
purposes? (17.8326 of the 18.0
mills is a renewal and 0.1674 mill
is an increase to restore the
millage rate reduced by the
"Headlee Amendment".) If this
millage is approved and levied, it
is estimated that revenue in the
amount of $2,641,000 will be
collected by the School District in
the first year.

OPERATING MILLAGE
("HEADLEE CUSHION")
PROPOSAL
(This millage would allow the
School District to continue to levy
up to 18 mills for operating
purposes, on non-principal
residence and other non-exempt
property, if its 18 mill
authorization is reduced by the
"Headlee Amendment" to the
Michigan Constitution of 1963.
Under existing law, the School
District may not and will not levy
more than 18 mills against such
property.)
Shall the limitation on the amount
of taxes which may be assessed
against all property, except
principal residence property and
other property exempt by law, in
Allendale Public Schools, Ottawa
County, Michigan, be increased
by 1.0 mill ($1.00 on each
$1,000.00 of taxable value) for
two years, 2017 and 2018
inclusive, to provide funds for
school operating purposes? If this
millage is approved and levied, it
is estimated that revenue in the
amount of $149,500 will be
collected by the School District in
the first year. (This millage would
be levied only if and to the extent
needed to offset a "Headlee"
reduction of the School District's
18 mill authorization and thereby
restore the millage rate to 18
mills.)
