The Wayne County Zoological Authority was
established pursuant to Public Act 49 of 2008,
and formed to allow for continuing zoological
services for the students, residents and
visitors of the County of Wayne. The law allows
the Authority to seek authorization from the
electors to levy a tax of not more than 0.1 mill
(10 cents per $1,000 of taxable value) on real
property and personal property to provide
revenue for this purpose. Accordingly, to
continue providing zoological services to
benefit the residents of the County, shall a 0.1
mill on all taxable property located within the
County of Wayne be imposed for a period of ten
(10) years, being years 2008 through 2017. It is
estimated that if approved and levied, this new
millage will generate approximately
$5,299,640.48 in 2008.
Shall this proposal be adopted?
