Council approves library millage renewal language for August ballot
Summary
Council approved ballot language to renew the existing library operating millage at the rolled‑back 0.3894‑mill rate for 10 years (2027–2036), with an estimated first‑year revenue of $103,838, to appear on the Aug. 4, 2026 primary ballot.
The Utica City Council voted to place library millage renewal language on the August 4, 2026 primary ballot. The resolution asks voters to renew the previously approved library operating millage at the current rolled‑back rate of 0.3894 mills for a period of 10 years (2027–2036), which the library estimates would raise approximately $103,838 in the first year.
The resolution and ballot question language were read into the record during the meeting. The council emphasized this is a renewal of an existing millage at the currently levied rate under the Headley amendment adjustments, not a request to raise the millage above the current rolled‑back level.
Council approved the motion to adopt the ballot language and authorized the city clerk to submit the measure to the county clerk for placement on the August primary ballot.
What happens next: The county clerk will receive the ballot language for the August 4 primary; voters will decide the renewal at that election.
