This year marks the twelfth year that the St. Clair County Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC) will distribute 25% of the County Parks and Recreation millage funds collected, back to the local units of government.
St. Clair County is the only county in the state of Michigan that systematically distributes parks and recreation millage funds to its local units of government.
The 2006 Local Millage Distribution Table (located below) includes the 2000 census figures used to calculate each community’s share; the amount of millage funds distributed to each community over the past eleven years; and the amount of funds to be distributed to each local unit of government this year.
In order for the 32 local units of government to receive their annual share of the County Parks and Recreation millage funds, each community’s governing board (Township Board, City or Village Council) must approve the submission of an annual Local Millage Distribution Request form that outlines how the community has spent their share of the millage funds for the past year.
The CountyParks and Recreation office maintains a file of each community’s report forms. The information is available to any resident interested in finding out how their community has invested its share of the CountyParks and Recreation millage. To obtain this information please call (810) 989-6960.
