Special Assessment District for Police and Fire Information
This district would cover the entire City to assist in funding police and fire services (Public Safety). The 2024-2025 projected budget for public safety is approximately $2.1 million. The City’s General Fund pays for all but $270,000. Historically, the only option for the City to raise funds to pay for General Fund services, including public safety, is to increase the general millage. Currently, the City’s general millage is 9.75 mills.
In Frankenmuth, the City is limited to the amount of general tax revenue that it can collect from the Downtown area under our current taxing structure. Shifting to a public safety Special Assessment District allows the City to see increased revenue from the downtown district without increasing taxes.
The City is proposing the following:
- A Special Assessment District levy of 5.0 mills to provide for public safety
- A reduction in the general millage from 9.75 mills to 4.75 mills
