BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – Voters in the Bronson Community School district approved the renewal of a building and site sinking fund millage for five years during Tuesday’s off year election.
The question passed 525 to 194. The current tax levy expires after this year. The building and site sinking fund is used for the construction or repair of school buildings, school security improvements, the acquisition or upgrading of technology; and all other purposes authorized by law. It’s estimated the school district will collect about $460,000 in 2024.
Meanwhile, voters in Quincy Township said no to a millage question for a new township hall. It went down to defeat 401 to 183.
The millage request would have raised $500,000 so that the Township can purchase an event center at 295 North Ray Quincy Road and make enough improvements to the building so it can used as a township hall.
Voters said no to the township establishing an annual special assessment of no more than a half mill over about six-and-a-half years.
Township officials were hoping to have their own township hall to work from and be able to hold their own elections.
All of the races in the City of Coldwater were uncontested. Mayor Tom Kramer and City Council members Emily Rissman, Chad Johnson, John Petzko and Scott Houtz were all re-elected as they ran unopposed. The Mayor’s term is for two years. Terms for City Council members are for four years.
