Lakewood Public Schools - Operating Millage Renewal Proposal
This proposal will allow the school district to continue to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal
residence and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation
allowance and renews millage that will expire with the 2014 tax levy.
Shall the currently authorized millage rate limitation of 18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) on the amount
of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law, in
Lakewood Public Schools, Ionia, Barry, Eaton and Kent Counties, Michigan, be renewed for a period of 10 years, 2015 to
2024, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the
millage is approved and levied in 2015 is approximately $1,617,695 (this is a renewal of millage which will expire with the
2014 tax levy)?

Saranac Community Schools - Operating Millage Proposal
This proposal will enable the school district to levy the statutory rate of 18 mills on all property, except principal residence
and other property exempted by law, required for the school district to receive its revenue per pupil foundation allowance.
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property, except principal residence and other
property exempted by law, in Saranac Community Schools, Ionia County, Michigan, be increased by 2 mills ($2.00 on each
$1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 9 years, 2015 to 2023, inclusive, to provide funds for operating purposes; the
estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2015 is approximately $-0- (this
millage is to restore millage lost as a result of the reduction required by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and will be levied
only to the extent necessary to restore that reduction)?
