NOTICE OF ELECTION
CITY OF NOVI, MICHIGAN
NOVEMBER 5, 2024 ELECTION 

To the qualified electors of the City of Novi:

Notice is hereby given that a general election will be held in the City of Novi on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the following locations:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the City of Novi will be voting for purposes of electing candidates for the following offices:

And the following proposals:
For all voters in the City of Novi:
OAKLAND COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION MILLAGE 
The Oakland County Parks System includes 17 park locations with nearly 7,200 acres of public park and recreational lands, 80 miles of trails, campgrounds, dog parks, golf courses, aquatic recreation facilities, and nature education centers. 
To continue to provide revenue to the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission, shall the current millage, which has been reduced by required rollback, be replaced, and increased to .65 mills for 20 years from 2024 to 2043. The .65 mills is equal to 65 cents per $1,000.00 of taxable value. The millage, if approved and levied, shall generate approximately $52,191,139 in 2024. The purpose of the millage is to expand, improve, operate, maintain, and acquire parks, recreational facilities, open spaces, lakes, rivers, water areas, and trailways; to support nature education, recreational, and outdoor educational and health programming; to support partnerships for access to and awareness of recreational lands and facilities; to promote the conservation and restoration of high-quality natural and wildlife habitats; and to allow free general park admission to all county parks for residents. Revenue from this millage shall be disbursed only to the County of Oakland to be used solely for the purpose of funding the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission and shall be subject to oversight by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners and to an independent audit. 
Should this proposal be adopted?

For voters in Precincts 8-13:
WALLED LAKE CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL DISTRICT 
COUNTY OF OAKLAND 
STATE OF MICHIGAN 
OPERATING MILLAGE REPLACEMENT PROPOSAL
This proposal would replace, restore and extend the authority of the School District, which expires with the 2025 tax levy, to levy up to 18.00 mills for general school district operating purposes on taxable property in the School District to the extent that such property is not exempt from such levy, restrict the levy on principal residences (owner-occupied homes) to no more than 3.6297 mills and protect against the impact of future Headlee rollbacks of up to 3.0 mills. This authorization would allow the School District to continue to levy the statutory limit of 18.00 mills on non-homestead property (principally industrial and commercial real property and residential rental property) and to continue to levy on principal residence property (owner occupied homes) only that portion of the mills necessary to allow the School District to receive the full revenue per pupil foundation allowance permitted by the State. The School District only levied 0.3086 mills on personal residences (owner occupied homes) in 2024. 
Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Walled Lake Consolidated School District, County of Oakland, Michigan be increased in the amount of 21 mills, with 18 mills being the maximum allowable levy ($18.00 per $1,000 of taxable value), to the extent such property is not statutorily exempt, and of which not more than 3.6297 mills may be imposed on principal residences, for fourteen (14) years, the years 2024 to 2037, inclusive? This operating millage, if approved and levied, would provide estimated revenues to the School District of $3,232,239 during the 2024 calendar year, to be used for general operating purposes.

For voters in Precincts 16, 17, 24, & 25:
RENEWAL OF REGIONAL ENHANCEMENT MILLAGE PROPOSAL 
Pursuant to state law, the revenue raised by the proposed renewal of the enhancement millage will be collected by the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency ("Wayne RESA”) and distributed on an equal per-pupil basis to local constituent school districts including eligible public school academies within the boundaries of Wayne RESA. None of the enhancement millage revenue will be distributed to Wayne RESA, and all funds shall be independently audited by the local constituent school districts and eligible public school academies as part of their annual school audits. 
As a renewal of authority which expires with the 2027 levy, shall the limitation on the amount of ad valorem taxes which may be imposed on taxable property in the Wayne County Regional Educational Service Agency, Michigan, be increased by 1.9812 mills ($1.98 per thousand dollars of taxable value) for a period of six (6) years, 2028 to 2033, inclusive, to provide operating funds to enhance other state and local funding for local school district operating purposes? It is estimated that 1.9812 mills would raise approximately $108 million when first levied in 2028. 
The revenue from this enhancement millage will be distributed on an equal per pupil basis to the following listed constituent school districts and the public school academies within the boundaries of Wayne RESA which are eligible to receive enhancement millage under the Revised School Code:

To comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), voting instructions will be available in audio format and in Braille. Arrangements for obtaining the instructions in these alternative formats can be made by contacting the township clerk in advance of the election.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the City of Novi will be voting for 
the following proposal for voters in the Walled Lake Consolidated School District (Precincts 8-13)

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT BOND PROPOSITION
Walled Lake Consolidated School District
County of Oakland
State of Michigan

Shall the Walled Lake Consolidated School District, County of Oakland, State of Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Million Eighty-Five Thousand Dollars ($250,085,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds, in one or more series, to pay for the cost of the following projects to create a modern learning environment for students and for health, safety, security, energy conservation and other purposes:

- Remodeling, equipping, re-equipping, furnishing, re-furnishing school buildings, athletic fields, playgrounds and other facilities;
- Erecting, completing, equipping and furnishing a replacement elementary school and an athletic field building;
- Acquiring and installing instructional technology infrastructure and equipment in school buildings and other facilities; and
- Preparing, developing and improving sites at school buildings, athletic fields, playgrounds and other facilities and the purchase of school buses?

The annual debt millage required to retire all bonds of the School District currently outstanding and proposed pursuant to this ballot is expected to be at or below 4.05 mills which is a 0.08 mill decrease from the estimated annual debt millage to be levied in 2023.  The estimated millage that will be levied to pay the proposed bonds in the first year is 1.26 mills (which is equal to $1.26 per $1,000 of taxable value) and the estimated simple average annual millage that will be required to retire each series of bonds is 1.51 mills annually ($1.51 per $1,000 of taxable value).  The maximum number of years any series of bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of refunding, is not more than thirty (30) years.

If approved by the voters, the bonds will be guaranteed by the State under the School Bond Qualification and Loan Program (the "Program").  The School District currently has $307,355,000 of qualified bonds outstanding and $0 of qualified loans outstanding under the Program.  The School District does not expect to borrow from the Program to pay debt service on these bonds.  The estimated computed millage rate required to be levied to pay the proposed bonds may change in the future based on changes in certain circumstances.

(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee salaries, repair or maintenance costs or other operating expenses.)

Full text of the ballot proposition may be obtained at the administrative offices of Walled Lake Consolidated School District, 850 Ladd Road, Building D, Walled Lake, MI 48390, telephone: (248) 956-2000.

To comply with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), voting instructions will be available in audio format and in Braille.
