Residents will have a choice between five candidates in the Nov. 6 election for four Ann Arbor District Library board positions. The four incumbents who are running for re-election include board Trustee Rebecca Head, Trustee Nancy Kaplan, President
Margaret Leary and Vice President Prue Rosenthal. Retired librarian Lyn Powrie Davidge is also running. Four candi- Davidge dates are Ann Arbor residents and one lives in Scio Township. On election ballots, voters will be asked to vote for four of the five candidates. Another library decision put to voters in the election will be whether to allow the board to borrow an

The Ann Arbor District Library board is putting the question to residents of whether to build a new main library downtown to replace the existing, outdated location at Fifth and Williams streets. Ballots will ask voters whether to allow the library board to borrow an amount not to exceed $65 million for the purpose of constructing, furnishing and equipping a new main library, according to the ballot language. General obligation, unlimited tax bonds also would be issued, payable within 30 years from the date the bonds are issued. This would also authorize a tax of 0.56 mills in 2013 to pay the debt service. If approved the first tax levy would be in July 2013. The millage would cost a homeowner with a taxable property value of $100,000 about $56 a year. Its estimated the average millage rate to retire the bonds is 0.47 mills, 47 cents per $1,000 of taxable property.

Two Ann Arbor city charter amendments asking whether two different millages should be authorized will appear on the Nov. 6 election ballot. Proposal A asks whether to
renew an existing tax for park maintenance and capital improvement of 1.1 mills for 2013 through 2018, according to the ballot language. Its estimated this will levy estimated revenue of $5,052,000. Proposal B asks whether to amend the charter to authorize a new tax of 0.1 mills for 2013 through 2016 to fund art in public places and limit other sources of funding, according to the ballot language. This will generate an estimated $459,273 of revenue in the first year. Public Art Administrator Aaron
Seagraves said the millage would fund not only permanent public art, but temporary art and performance art, as well. He said the art it funds would be on city property only, not privately owned property. If approved, it will cost the average homeowner 91 cents per month, $10.97 a year, based on a residential property with an average taxable value of $108,600. This revenue would provide the only funding for public art and funding through the Percent for Art program would be suspended for the duration of the millage.
Currently, the city only funds permanent public art by setting aside 1 percent of the budgets of qualifying capital improvement projects, Seagraves said. Councilman Christopher Taylor proposed putting the millage before voters. For more information about city Proposal A, visit www.a2gov. org/parksmillage.
