The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the Charter be amended to authorize a tax up to 0.20 mills for the construction of new sidewalks for 2027 through 2032, to replace the previously authorized tax up to 0.20 mills for the construction of new sidewalks for 2021 through 2026, which will raise in the first year of levy the estimated revenue of $1,809,900? In accordance with State law, a portion of the millage may be subject to capture by the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority and the Washtenaw County Brownfield Redevelopment Authority.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote amends the charter to authorize a tax of up to 0.20 mills for 2027–2032 to build new sidewalks, replacing the current tax for 2021–2026.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the charter amendment; the current 0.20-mill new-sidewalk tax covers 2021 through 2026.
