Leland School Evaluates a Split Decision from Voters

9 & 10 News Voters said yes to one ballot proposal, and no to the other. May 6, 2021 “Taxpayers supported the operating millage for Leland Public School which allows us to keep our doors open,” said Leland School Board President Bill Robinson. Voters passed the operating millage for the Leland School – it will raise over $4 million for the school’s operating expenses. Leland Public School Superintendent Stephanie Long said, “The millage is for our operating expense, it’s what required of us to collect from taxpayers to receive our state aid.” But voters said no to a smaller request – the Sinking Fund would have brought in $200,000 a year for three years. It’s a fairly common “ask” that typically happens every three years. “They’re both tax levies,” says Long.

Leland Township Voters to Decide Millage Renewal

9 & 10 News May 3, 2021 Voters in one Leelanau County township will decide whether to renew an operating millage when they go to the polls on Tuesday. Even though it would replace last year’s millage at the same rate, not everyone is in favor of it. Leland Township Supervisor Susan Och says, “the Extra Voted Millage is funds for operating of Leland Township. This is over half of our operating budget.” The millage renewal is expected to bring in roughly $215,000 dollars for things like public dock maintenance, township streetlights, and park upkeep. “The township really needs this. This is an integral part of our operations. Yes we’ve been setting aside some of it for infrastructure and for upkeep, about $50,000 a year,” Och says. “We normally do this every three years. Last year we started doing it one year at a time just because things were so up in the air with COVID. We want to make sure we don’t do a long millage not knowing exactly what they need.”
