Charlotte Community Library director says library will seek restoration millage on Aug. 4 ballot
Summary
Jessica, director of the Charlotte Community Library, told the council the library will seek a restoration millage on the Aug. 4 ballot to restore the rate reduced by statutory rollbacks; she reviewed usage, budget impacts and estimated effects on taxpayers.
Jessica, director of the Charlotte Community Library, told the Charlotte City Council during public comment on June 22 that the library will seek a restoration millage on the Aug. 4 ballot to restore the rate originally approved by voters that has been reduced through statutory rollbacks.
She presented the library’s monthly report, citing strong usage and community engagement, and reviewed the operating budget and the estimated impact on taxpayers of the proposed restoration millage. Council members commented positively on the library’s attendance figures. No council vote or formal action on the millage was recorded during the meeting; the library will proceed with the ballot placement as part of regular election procedures.
The announcement gives residents an opportunity to consider whether to restore the library’s voter-approved rate; the library director outlined that the restoration would return the levy to its original rate prior to automatic rollbacks but did not provide a dollar figure for the expected change to individual tax bills at the meeting.
