November Millage Proposal (DPW Equipment) 8/11:

During last night’s Village Council special meeting, the Village Council amended the public works equipment ballot language and it also reduced the proposed millage rate from its original millage rate.

Due to doing these two items, the public works equipment millage will be treated as a new millage replacing an expiring millage instead of a millage renewal. The proposed millage will read as follows on the November ballot:

VILLAGE OF LAURIUM

MILLAGE PROPOSAL

The Village of Laurium proposes to replace a prior approved, expiring Department of Public Works equipment millage levy of 2.50 mills ($2.50 per $1,000 of state taxable value) for years 2022 through 2026, inclusive, at a reduced amount as described below.

Shall the Village of Laurium levy a new, additional millage of up to 2.25 mills ($2.25 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 5 years (2027 through 2031, inclusive) for the purpose of purchasing, upgrading, repairing, and maintaining Department of Public Works equipment and other Department of Public Works expenses, which is estimated to raise $79,000 in the first year of the levy, and shall the Village of Laurium be authorized to levy said millage?

[] Yes

[] No

This proposal seeks a .25 mill reduction from the previously approved original millage, and is the second millage reduction/proposal that has been discussed this year by the Laurium Village Council. 1.00 mill was previously reduced this year regarding the fire apparatus millage.

If you have any questions regarding millages or the November ballot initiative, please reach out to the Village of Laurium at 906-337-1600.
