Shall the limitation of the total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all real and personal taxable property in the City of Yale, County of St. Clair, State of Michigan, continue to be 2 mills (2 mills which is $2.00 per $1,000.00 of State Taxable Value) of the taxable value of all taxable property in the City, as finally equalized, for each year for 5 years, commencing with 2028 and continuing through 2032, inclusive, for the purpose of providing fire protection services within the City of Yale, including contracted fire suppression, rescue, emergency response, and medical first response services, and related equipment, operations, administration and expenses? The proposed millage is a renewal of the presently authorized millage that expires with the 2027 levy.

Revenue from the millage will be collected by the City of Yale and may be disbursed to Brockway Township pursuant to an agreement for fire protection and related emergency response services
