Center Line library faces restructuring if council enacts PA 164 and approves unvoted millage
Commission minutes record that city budget pressures may prompt the City Council to enact PA 164 by ordinance, converting the Library Commission into a Library Board that could levy an unvoted one mill (estimated $225,000–$250,000) to help fund a roughly $400,000 annual library budget.
The full story
The Center Line Public Library Commission recorded at a special April 22 meeting that the library will likely undergo organizational and funding changes because of a structural deficit in the City. The minutes say the City Council may enact "PA 164" by ordinance; if that occurs the commission would become a Library Board and could generate an unvoted one-mill levy to support library operations. One mill in Center Line was estimated in the minutes at about $225,000 to $250,000, while the librarybudget was recorded as roughly $400,000 annually.
