**Executive Summary**

**Introduction**
The Township of Kasson in Leelanau County, Michigan, has adopted a resolution to submit a millage proposal for fire protection and emergency medical services. This proposal seeks to authorize a property tax of 2.5 mills, subject to Headlee rollback considerations, to the voters during the August 2024 election. The primary aim is to ensure sustainable funding for essential services that exceed current revenue generation.

**Details of the Millage Proposal**
The proposed millage will impose a tax of $2.50 per $1,000 of taxable value for a duration of two years, covering 2024 to 2025. This funding is crucial as Kasson Township contracts with Cedar Area Fire and Rescue to provide necessary fire protection and emergency medical services. The implementation of this 2.5 mill increase is projected to generate approximately $367,000 in its initial year.

**Resolution Adoption**
The resolution, formally adopted by the Kasson Township Board on April 10, 2024, underwent a thorough review for legal compliance and was affirmed by a roll call vote at a regular meeting where a quorum was present. The Clerk of Kasson Township has certified the adoption of the resolution, ensuring immediate effect.
