MILLAGE RENEWAL
Cass City School District voters will also be asked next week to secure a vital piece of the district’s annual revenue package via the proposed renew - al of an 18-mill non-homestead tax. Cass City School Supt. Jeff Hartel has been making the rounds at local service clubs and other groups in an effort to explain the tax and the fact that it will not affect residents’ tax bills. In fact, the 18-mill levy is a renewal for the next 10 years, 2015 through 2024, that will be assessed only on non- homestead properties (industrial and commercial along with some agricul - tural property and second homes). Primary family residences are not affect - ed. The non-homestead millage is a requirement of Proposal A, the state’s school funding structure requiring that the 18 mills on non-homestead prop - erty cannot be collected unless it comes before voters in an election. “We’re not asking for a new millage or bond,” said Hartel, who pointed out the amount of funding at stake is significant – roughly $770,000 annually. “If we don’t get it, our district’s bankrupt in two years,” he added.
