MAX renewal, school proposals on May 4 ballot
With the May 4 special election less than a month away, absentee voting is already underway. There are no county-wide proposals in Allegan or Ottawa counties, meaning only those with local ballot issues will vote this May.
Local issues will be on the ballot for residents in the city of Holland and Holland Township along with those in the school district boundaries for Holland Public Schools, Zeeland Public Schools and West Ottawa Public Schools.
Macatawa Area Transit millage renewal
Voters in Holland and Holland Township will be asked to renew the Macatawa Area Express (MAX) operating millage for five more years.

HOLLAND Local transit authorities in and around the greater-Holland area are offering free bus rides to COVID-19 vaccination appointments in an effort to broaden access to the vaccine.
The Macatawa Area Express (MAX) and Allegan County Transportation are offering free rides for residents to vaccination appointments. Health officials view the vaccines as one of the most important tools to mitigate COVID-19 and end the coronavirus pandemic.
MAX, which serves the city of Holland and surrounding areas, is offering same-day rides, but is encouraging riders to schedule their trip upon scheduling their vaccination appointment. To schedule a trip, call MAX at 616-355-1010.
PARK TWP. Park Township budget deliberations began Thursday when trustees reviewed the proposed 2021-22 budget, which includes funds for several parks projects and a consultant to gather public input for the former airport site.
Trustees will host a public hearing and vote on the budget in March. The next fiscal year for the township begins April 1.
The budget calls for holding the township s general operating tax rate flat at .9076 mills. The combined tax rate levied by the township will decrease due to planned reductions to the dedicated millage for police and fire.
Several years ago, the township renegotiated agreements with the Ottawa County Sheriff s Office, resulting in lower costs. As a result, the township is lowering its Police/E-Unit millage below what s needed to fund operations and dipping into its fund balance of more than $1.3 million, in order to reduce the fund balance to be more in line with current costs and cashflow needs.
