Summary

At a September 30, 2013 special meeting, the Beaver Island District Library Board unanimously decided to levy 0.85 mills for 2014, down from the 0.90 mills levied in each of the previous three years. The December Beaver Beacon says the reduction was intended to ease taxpayer pressure without cutting services.

Evidence limits

The source reports the Board’s decision and stated rationale; it does not provide the later certified levy or budget outcome.
