What will Lenawee County do if the renewal passes?

If the renewal passes Lenawee County will be able to continue services that the residents of Lenawee County expect.  At the same time, the Lenawee County Board of Commissioners will continue to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars.  It is not expected that the maximum levy rate will be applied any time soon.  The determination of the millage rate in any given year will be subject to the requirements of the Uniform Budgeting Act which requires the Board of Commissioners to hold a public hearing on the budget including the millage rate.
