Oakland County, Michigan

City of Royal Oak, Precinct

Charter Amendment "Proposal 2"

This proposal, if approved by the electors,

will allow the School District of the City of

Royal Oak to continue to levy the number

of operating mills required for the School

District to receive revenues at the full per

pupil foundation allowance permitted by

the State of Michigan.

Charter Amendment "Proposal 1"

Currently, the City Charter at Chapter

Three, Section 3, restricts eligibility for

Mayor or Commissioner to persons who

first has attained the age of 25 at the

time of election.

The proposed amendment, if adopted,

would allow anyone to serve as Mayor or

Commissioner who has attained the age

of 21 at the time of election and who is

otherwise eligible.

Shall the proposal be adopted?

Shall the limitation on the total amount of

taxes which may be assessed against all

property, except principal residence and

other property exempted by law, situated

within the School District of the City of

Royal Oak, County of Oakland, State of

Michigan, be increased as provided in the

Michigan Constitution, in the amount of

18 mills ($18.00 on each $1,000 of

taxable valuation), and against all

principal residences and other property

not exempted by law, by 3.4 mills ($3.40

on each $1,000 of taxable valuation),

both millages to be for a period of seven

(7) years, from July 1, 2014 through June

30, 2021, inclusive with the above 18

mills and the above 3.40 mills (which is a

reduction from the 3.5030 mills previously

authorized by the electors) being a

renewal of millage which would otherwise

expire on December 31, 2013? These

operating millages if approved and levied,

would provide estimated revenues to the

School District of Eighteen Million Eight

Hundred Thousand ($18,800,000) Dollars

during the 2014 calendar year, to be used

for general operating purposes.

An ordinance to amend the Code of the

City of Royal Oak to prohibit

discrimination based upon actual or

perceived race, color, religion, national

origin, sex, age, height, weight, condition

of pregnancy, marital status, physical or

mental limitation, source of income,

family responsibilities, sexual orientation,

gender identity, or HIV status, and to

provide penalties for the violation

thereof.

Currently, Chapter 3, Section 15 and

Chapter Ten, Section 1, of the City

Charter requires the City Commission to

appoint the City Assessor. And, Chapter

Three, Section 15 of the City Charter also

requires the City Commission to appoint

the City Treasurer. The proposed

amendment, if adopted, would allow the

City Manager to appoint the City

Treasurer and City Assessor.

Should this proposal be adopted?

LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF

ROYAL OAK

OPERATING MILLAGE RENEWAL

PROPOSAL

Currently, the City Charter at Chapter

Three, Section 3, restricts eligibility for

Mayor or Commissioner to persons who

are freeholders of the city (real estate

property owners).

Due to various court rulings holding that

freeholder eligibility requirements for

elective office violates the Equal

Protection Clause of the Michigan and

Federal constitutions this freeholder

eligibility clause is currently

unenforceable.

The proposed amendment, if adopted,

would eliminate this requirement in the

City Charter at Chapter Three, Section 3,

for Mayor and Commissioner.
