5. Operating Millage Renewal Proposal (SP 3)
Description:
This request is presented again after a question was raised regarding the resolution at the April 8 meeting. The district's business manager and legal representation confirmed that the requested millage rate is correct and will generate approximately $1,052,362 for district operations. Property taxes levied for debt service ($1.2 million in 22-23) cannot be used for operating expenses and are not accounted for in the general fund. The current operating millage expires on December 31, 2024. For the community to vote for a renewal on August 6, the BOE must approve the attached resolution and ballot language. This is a renewal request, not an increase, and principal residences are exempt. The resolution and ballot language are attached. 

Board action is required to approve this agenda item. 

MOTION BY _____________________________; SECONDED BY _______________________

BE IT RESOLVED that the Centreville Board of Education approve / not approve the resolution and ballot language for the operating millage renewal proposal.
