Text of measure

The question on the ballot:

Proposition 1: Shall the 18 mill limitation ($18.00 on each $1,000 of taxable value) previously approved by the electors which may be assessed against all taxable property except principal residence and qualified agricultural property as defined by law, in Bedford Public Schools, County of Monroe, State of Michigan, be renewed and thus continued for five (5) years beyond its scheduled 2013 expiration, for the years 2014 to 2018, inclusive, to provide in part the funds to operate and maintain the school system? It is estimated that the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the 2014 calendar year shall be approximately $3,256,973 from the local taxes authorized in this proposal. The proposed millage is a renewal of a previously authorized millage of 18 mills. Proposition 2: Shall the limitation on the amount of taxes which may be assessed against all taxable property except principal residence and qualified agricultural property as defined by law, in Bedford Public Schools, County of Monroe, State of Michigan, be increased by 1 mill ($1.00 on each $1,000 of taxable value) for five (5) years beyond its scheduled 2013 expiration, for the years 2014 to 2018, inclusive, to provide in part the funds to operate and maintain the school system? This is a restoration of the Headlee Reduction for 2014 through 2018. It is estimated that the revenue the school district will collect if the millage is approved and levied in the 2014 calendar year shall be approximately $180,943 from the local taxes authorized in this proposal.
