Hi Zac, If you are not already, I would HIGHLY suggest registration for the "Awesome Millage Mondays" Every Monday by Library of Michigan. https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event... I would also very much suggest reaching out to Shirley Bruursema "The Millage Queen" . libsabsarg@aol.com<mailto:libsabsarg@aol.com> She was fundamental in helping us get through our millage. Happy to have a one-on-one phone conversation as well. We just passed a 10 year , but it had its moments.

Was wondering if anyone has recently done this. What are some do's and don'ts you could recommend? What worked really well for you? Anything that didn't work? And if you want to share anything else millage related I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you!
