**This election will be held for the purpose of presenting a special education millage renewal by Washtenaw Intermediate School District and a police protection millage renewal by Northfield Township. Dexter School voters will also have school board candidates on their ballot.
**The WISD millage renewal language is:
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in Washtenaw Intermediate School District, Michigan, be increased by .9850 mill ($0.9850 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a period of 7 years, 2011 to 2017, inclusive, to provide funds for the education of students with a disability (the above is a renewal of millage which expired with the 2010 tax levy); the estimate of the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in 2011 is approximately $14,000,000?
**The Northfield Township police protection millage renewal language is:
As a renewal of previously authorized millage which will expire with the 2011 levy, shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Township of Northfield, County of Washtenaw, Michigan, be increased by 1.8684 mills ($1.8684 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of four (4) years, 2012 to 2015, inclusive, for the purpose of providing funds for police protection in Northfield Township? It is estimated that 1.8684 mills would raise approximately $329,627.94 when first levied in 2012.
