Capital Area District Library Ballot Proposal for a District Wide Tax
BALLOT PROPOSAL FOR A DISTRICT WIDE TAXShall the previously authorized Capital Area District Library tax, which expired in December 2025, of 1.56 mills ($1.56 per $1,000 of taxable value) on all taxable property within the limits of the District, which as of 2025 had been reduced to 1.5586 mills ($1.56 per $1,000 of taxable values) by the required millage rollbacks, be renewed and levied for 4 years, 2026 through 2029 inclusive, for the purpose of funding library operations? If the millage passes, the millage will generate an estimated $15,192,690 during the first calendar year. With this revenue, Capital Area District Library will be able to maintain its operations and planned level of services for the next 4 years. If the millage does not pass, many library services will be eliminated, and branches may have to close. If the millage passes, a small portion of the revenue will, as required by law, be disbursed to the Brownfield Redevelopment Authorities of Ingham County, the City of Lansing, and Delhi Township.
