Benzie Transportation Authority millage presented to county ahead of August ballot
Summary
Presenters for the Benzie Transportation Authority briefed the Benzie County Board of Commissioners on a millage proposal slated for the Aug. 6 ballot and answered commissioners' questions; county staff will prepare voter education materials for the election.
Jessica Carland, Chad Hollenbeck and Sophia Hogarth presented information to the Benzie County Board of Commissioners on May 28 about a Benzie Transportation Authority millage proposal that will appear on the Aug. 6, 2024 ballot and answered questions from commissioners. The presenters provided background on the proposal and its placement on the ballot; no formal board action was required at the meeting.
The presentation was scheduled on the board’s consent agenda and was intended to inform commissioners and the public ahead of the August election. County Administrator Katie Zeits later said staff are preparing an educational handout for the Aug. 6 election to explain the ballot items to voters.
Why it matters: a local transportation millage would affect how the Benzie Transportation Authority funds and plans services; voters will decide the measure on Aug. 6. The board did not take a vote on the millage itself during the May 28 meeting.
