Several Delta County townships had millages on the ballot in Tuesday’s election. They include:

BALDWIN TOWNSHIP ROAD MILLAGE

Baldwin Township voters approved a road millage requesting a renewal of 1.5 mills ($1.50 per $1,000 of taxable value) for the purpose of funding road improvements, road repairs, road maintenance and bridge construction and repair. The millage will be levied for five years — 2025-2029, inclusive — and will raise an estimated $57,249 in the first year levied.

The millage was passed with 107 votes (66.46%) in support and 54 votes (33.54%) opposed.

BALDWIN TOWNSHIP FIRE PROTECTION MILLAGE

Baldwin Township residents approved a millage levying 1.5 mills ($1.50 per $1,000 fo taxable value) for the purpose of providing financing for fire safety related motor vehicles, apparatus, or equipment. The fire protection millage will be levied for five years — 2025-2029, inclusive — and will raise an estimated $57,249 in the first year.

The millage was passed with 120 votes (72.73%) in support and 45 votes (27.27%) opposed.

CORNELL TOWNSHIP OPERATING MILLAGE

Cornell residents re-approved the township’s expired operating millage and increased that millage to the millage rate originally approved by voters, which was 1 mill ($1 per $1,000 of taxable value).

Operating millages like the one in Cornell Township are affected by the Headlee Amendment, a 1978 law that tied tax revenue to inflation and forced many millages approved by voters to be levied at less than the approved amount.

In this case, voters re-approved the full 1 mill for a period of 10 years, 2024-2033 inclusive, for township operations. Because the millage had already been returned to one mill prior to its expiration, the millage is functionally a renewal without any change in the tax rate for residents.

The millage will raise an estimated $24,174 in the first year levied. It was passed with 65 votes (57.52%) in support and 48 votes (42.48%) opposed.

CORNELL TOWNSHIP ROAD MILLAGE

Cornell residents voted to renew a 1 mill ($1 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of five years, 2025 to 2029 inclusive, to improve township roads.

The millage will raise an estimated $24,174 in the first year levied. It passed with 78 votes (68.42%) in support and 36 votes (31.58%) opposed.
