PROPOSAL SECTION
Wayne County
Proposition P – Parks Millage Renewal
To renew the millage authorized in 2020, shall Wayne County levy this millage at the 2023 rollback rate of 0.2442 mills (about $0.24 per $1,000 of taxable valuation) for five more years (2026 through 2030) to continue to improve and operate several parks and related facilities, including Hines Park, Elizabeth Park, Wayne County Family Aquatic Center at Chandler Park, and improvements to municipal parks in the 43 communities as provided in an implementing ordinance through an annual allocation by commission district of the greater of $50,000 or 15% of the total funds generated from that district, on the condition that, for any year for which this continued levy would be imposed, Wayne County must budget from other sources an amount equal to its 1995-1996 fiscal year appropriation for parks? Based upon the total estimated 2026 taxable value of $59,252,807,563, this renewal is projected to generate $14,469,536 in 2026.
Proposition A – Auditor Selection Amendment
Shall the Wayne County Charter Section 3.119 (e) be amended in part to allow the County’s independent external auditor, selected by competitive bid, to serve for a term of three years or more?
