City of Monroe endorses museum millage renewal and increase
The City of Monroe has endorsed the proposed renewal and increase of the Monroe County Museum System’s operating millage.
Monroe City Council on Monday unanimously approved a resolution of support for the proposed renewal of the museum’s current, .10-mill levy, as well as a requested .05-mill increase. Monroe County residents will vote on these two issues on May 4.
If approved by voters, the 10-year millage would generate $991,500 in revenue in its first year. The present levy – which, without increase, would generate $643,648 for the museum - expires at the end of this year.
