Board adopts fiscal‑year 2026 budget resolution, notes adjusted millage rate
Summary
The board approved resolution 2620 adopting the fiscal‑year 2026 budget and discussed millage timing and the application of a reduction fraction that lowered the mill rate from historical levels.
The county board approved resolution 2620, adopting the fiscal‑year 2026 budget and confirming the county’s authorized millage levels.
A discussion during the item explained that Michigan law affects when portions of millage may be levied; the meeting record states that portions of millage must be collected in the winter while the county’s operating millage can be collected in the summer. The presenter noted the county’s millage had been reduced from an earlier 7.5 per $1,000 taxable value to roughly 6.45 per $1,000 after applying the current reduction fraction.
The board approved the resolution on a roll‑call vote. The meeting packet and the L‑29 report discussed along with the vote document the starting levy, the current reduction fraction and the year of expiration for each millage. The board also indicated that renewal measures for a senior millage and a transit authority millage are planned for upcoming ballots, which will affect election timing and local collection procedures.
