The question, as printed on the ballot

This proposal reestablishes the 0.6 mill fire and rescue millage previously approved by the electors that expired after the December 2025 levy. Specifically, the proposal renews the previously authorized 0.5847 mills and restores the 0.0153 mills rolled back by the Headlee Amendment. Shall the previous voted increase in the tax limitations imposed under Article IX, Sec 6 of the Michigan Constitution in Marilla Township of 0.6 mills ($0.60 per $1,000 of taxable value), reduced to 0.5847 mills ($0.5847 per $1,000 of taxable value) by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed at and increased up to the original voted 0.6 mills ($0.60 per $1,000 of taxable value) and levied for four (4) years, 2026 through 2029 inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for fire protection and rescue services within the Township, which 0.6 mills will raise an estimated $14,409 in the first year the millage is levied?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote renews the township's fire and rescue tax and restores it to 0.6 mill for 4 years (2026-2029).

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the renewal.
