Bond Proposition

Shall the West Bloomfield School District, Oakland County, Michigan,
borrow the sum of not to exceed Fifty Two Million ($52,000,000.00)
Dollars and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefore, in
one or more series, for the purpose of paying for the cost of the follow-
ing:
1. Erecting, equipping and furnishing additions to school buildings;
2. Remodeling, equipping, re-equipping, furnishing and refurnishing
school buildings and improving sites for school buildings.
3. Remodeling, equipping, re-equipping, playgrounds and athletic fields,
and improving sites for playgrounds and athletic fields; and
4. Acquiring, installing and equipping school buildings and other facil-
ities, for technology systems and equipment and purchasing school buses?
The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding, exclu-
sive of refunding, is 20 years; the estimated millage that will be levied to
pay the proposed bonds in the first year is 1.45 mills (which is equal to
$1.45 per $1,000 of taxable value); and the estimated average millage
that will be required to retire the bonds over 20 years is 1.96 mills annu-
ally ($1.96 per $1,000 of taxable value).
(Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited,
and the proceeds cannot be used for teacher, administrator or employee
salaries; repair or maintenance costs or other operating expenses.)
