Title: Communications from the Ann Arbor District Library Regarding Their Resolution to Exempt All Library Taxes from Future Capture by Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority
Summary
On February 23, 2026, the Ann Arbor District Library Board of Trustees adopted Resolution 26-045, which exempts all library taxes from future capture by the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority (DDA). This decision stems from a 1996 voter-approved millage intended to fund the library's operations. Currently, these taxes are subject to capture under the Recodified Tax Increment Financing Act (RTIFA). The resolution allows the library to safeguard its tax revenue, ensuring it remains available for library services rather than being redirected to the DDA. This move is significant for library funding stability and reflects the board's commitment to maintaining resources for community services. The resolution will be filed with the city clerk as required by law.
