Chippewa Co. Animal Shelter millage request on Tuesday's ballot
The Chippewa County Animal Shelter is asking for voters help to keep vital services going through 2030.
It is one of two county millage proposals on the ballot.
The Chippewa County Animal Protection Millage Proposal states:
"This proposal, if approved by the voters, will permit the County to fund the Chippewa County Animal Shelter to be used solely as a facility that does not euthanize for space, and, as such, the funding will be used to provide medical and supplemental care for the health, safety, and well-being of the animals housed and cared for at the Chippewa County Animal Shelter as well as pet adoption assistance, including spaying and neutering, to Chippewa County community members."
"Shall the tax limitation imposed under Article IX, Section 6 of the Michigan Constitution on general ad valorem taxes within Chippewa County, Michigan be increased by .175 mill ($0.175 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of six years, being 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030, inclusive to provide operating funds to the Chippewa County Animal Shelter to be used exclusively to allow the facility to not euthanize for space, and to provide medical and supplemental care for the health, safety, and well-being of the animals housed and cared for at the Chippewa County Animal Shelter as well as provide financial assistance to Chippewa County community members, who income qualify, for spay and neuter, and shall the County levy such millage for said purpose, thereby raising in the first year (2025) an estimated $230,770?"
