The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the tax limitation on all taxable property within Royalton Township, Berrien County, Michigan, be increased and the Township be authorized to levy annually a new millage in the amount of 0.4 mills ($0.40 per $1,000 of taxable value), for four years, 2027 to 2030 inclusive, to provide funds for Township library services? The estimated revenue the Township will collect in the first year of levy (2027) if the millage is approved is approximately $155,018. To the extent required by law, a portion of the revenues collected from this millage (estimated to be approximately 1.2% in the first year), will be captured by or disbursed to the Berrien County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.
