The question, as printed on the ballot

In support of the continued operation of the Baroda-Lake Police Department, and in order to keep providing full time police services to Baroda Township residents, shall the limitation on the total amount of taxes which may be assessed under Article XI, Sec. 6 of the Michigan Constitution against the taxable valuation of all real and personal property in Baroda Township liable for taxation, including that land and personal property lying in the Village of Baroda, be increased by a new millage of 1.3601 mills ($1.3601 per $1,000 of taxable valuation, as equalized). The authorization to levy said millage is for a period of four (4) years, being the years of 2027 through 2030. It is estimated that the amount of revenue to be generated from the 1.3601-mills in the first year of levy will be approximately $195,150.68.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote authorizes a new 1.3601-mill levy for four years (2027–2030) to fund Baroda-Lake Police Department services in the township; about $195,151 the first year.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the new police millage.
