ALPENA — Northeast Michigan voters have a lot more to consider on the March 10 ballot than who should be the next president of the United States.

While the presidential primary is the big-ticket item, area voters also will be asked to weigh in on several tax proposals, the biggest of which is a multimillion-dollar bond proposal in Alpena Public Schools.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. March 10.

Here’s a roundup of what’s on the ballot in Northeast Michigan:

ALPENA COUNTY

Alpena Public Schools bond ask

Alpena schools will ask voters for permission to sell up to $33.9 million in bonds to raise money for facilities repairs and renovations throughout the district, with a focus on replacing aging roofs and boilers.

The bonds would be repaid over the next 25 years through property taxes.

Voters do not actually approve a tax rate, which is set annually based on the bond payments due and the taxable value in the district. But school leaders expect taxes for district debt would stay flat at 1.8 mills, or $90 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house, because existing bond debt is about to be paid off.

If voters reject the March 10 proposal, taxes are expected to drop in 2021.

PRESQUE ISLE COUNTY

Rogers City Area Fire Department Authority millage renewal

The Rogers City Area Fire Department Authority will ask voters to renew a 1-mill operational millage for 16 years. Taxpayers in Rogers City and Belknap, Bismark, Moltke, and Rogers townships will vote on the proposal.

The property tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 house $50 per year — the same amount taxpayers are already paying — but the authority will ask voters to approve the tax over a longer time period, until 2036. The tax would generate $198,645 in the first year.

Officials plan to build a new fire station in Rogers City’s industrial park with the help of a loan from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Some of the funds from this tax would help pay back that loan.

MONTMORENCY COUNTY

Hillman schools millage proposal

Hillman Community Schools is asking voters to renew its operating millage.

The proposal allows the district to charge up to 18 mills on non-homestead property, such as businesses or vacation homes. The tax would cost the owner of $100,000 in property about $90 a year.

The millage would be renewed for a four-year period, 2021 to 2024.

The estimated revenue to come from the tax would be $1.84 million a year.

Atlanta schools millage proposal

Atlanta Community Schools is seeking a renewal of its operating millage. The proposal allows the district to charge up to 18 mills on non-homestead property, such as businesses or vacation homes. The tax would cost the owner of $100,000 in property about $90 a year.

The millage would be renewed for a four-year period, 2021 to 2024, with an estimated revenue of $1.86 million each year if approved.

Hillman operating millage

Hillman will ask taxpayers to allow the district to continue charging a 12.5-mill property tax for village operations.

State law that limits local government revenue would force the district to reduce the tax by 2.82 mills without voter approval to keep it at the higher rate.

The millage would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $141 a year and generate an estimated $53,186 when levied this year.

Albert Township road millage increase

Albert Township will ask voters to approve a 0.5-mill road millage increase.

The increase would generate an estimated $77,300 for the township and cost the owner of a $100,000 home $25 a year, starting this year.

Briley Township parks and cemetery millages

Briley Township will ask voters to approve two millages: a 0.25-mil tax to maintain and develop township parks, and another 0.25-mill tax to improve, develop, and maintain the township cemetery.

Each tax would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $12.50 a year and would generate an estimated $17,219 a year for the township.

If both millages are approved, the owner of a $100,000 home would pay about $25 a year and the taxes would generate $34,438.

ALCONA COUNTY

COOR ISD proposal in Mitchell Township

The Crawford-Oscoda-Ogemaw-Roscommon Intermediate School District is seeking a restoration of its special education millage to the full amount previously approved by voters. State law limits local government taxes in certain instances unless voters approve higher rates.

In Northeast Michigan, only Alcona County’s Mitchell Township will vote.

If the proposal is rejected, taxes would fall by 0.1171 mills, saving about $6 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house. If approved, the district would keep charging 0.75 mills, or $37.50 a year for a owner of a $100,000 house.

If approved, the proposal would generate about $366,850 each year, from 2020 to 2029, for the district.

COOR ISD operating millage proposal in Mitchell Township

The COOR ISD also is seeking a restoration of its operating millage, which the district would be forced to lower by state law without voter approval.

If the March 10 proposal is denied, the tax would fall by 0.047 mills, or $2.35 a year for the owner of a $100,000 house. The district is asking permission to keep charging that 0.047 mills for the next 10 years, which is worth about $147,241 each year to the district.

In Northeast Michigan, only Alcona County’s Mitchell Township will vote on the tax.
