The question, as printed on the ballot
Shall Section 9.1 of the Novi City Charter be amended to authorize a millage for capital improvements and capital projects, including, but not limited to, parks and facilities, land acquisition, pathways, and apparatus (such as fire trucks, heavy equipment), with such funds not to be used for operations or payroll, in the amount of 1.0 mills (being $1 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of 10 years, starting with the July 2027 levy and resulting in the authorization to collect an estimated $5,412,997 in the first year if approved and levied, to replace an expiring capital improvements millage?
A “Yes” vote means
A yes vote amends the city charter to allow a 1-mill capital improvements tax for 10 years from the July 2027 levy, replacing an expiring one; not for operations or payroll.
A “No” vote means
A no vote rejects the millage.
