Summary

Peaine’s Board adopted Resolution 11-2026 in draft minutes, approving ballot language for an emergency-medical-services millage renewal proposal. The proposed renewal would fund the Beaver Island Emergency Services Authority for 2026–2028 if approved by voters. A forum notice shortly before the election framed it for residents as a rate renewal, not an increase; the official draft minutes remain the controlling source for the ballot language.

Evidence and limits

This is a Township ballot-resolution action documented in draft minutes. It does not establish ballot placement, voter approval, levy collection, BIESA revenue or expenditure, or any change in emergency-services capacity.

Sources

  1. The draft minutes report unanimous adoption of ballot language for a three-year EMS-millage renewal proposal and describe revenue distribution to BIESA. It does not establish final approved minutes, ballot placement, voter approval, levy collection, revenue, expenditures, or an EMS-service outcome.

  2. A community post describes the August ballot item as a renewal at the existing rate rather than an increase, then corrects its spelling from mileage to millage. It supports the public understanding of the proposal but is not a ballot document and does not establish the vote result.
