Village Of Millington

What Village Of Millington does

The Village of Millington is an incorporated municipal corporation in Tuscola County, Michigan, serving approximately 1,072 residents (2010 census) within the state's lower Thumb region. Its core "products" are municipal government services delivered through elected leadership (Village Council, led by President Andrew Selich), an appointed Clerk (Kaylene Long) and Treasurer (Aurora Ratza), and four operating departments: the Police Department (Chief Brian Cartner), the Department of Public Works (Superintendent Garth Ratza), Planning & Zoning (Administrator Jeff Bassett), and the Downtown Development Authority (Chairperson Gailan Reinert). Underlying physical assets include a water system with 2 wells, 9.2 miles of pipe, and one 300,000-gallon water tower, plus an 86-acre Arthur Latham Park and a 10-mile Southern Links Trailway connecting Columbiaville, Otter Lake, and Millington.

The Village operates a regulated, usage-based utility billing model. Water, sewer, and garbage bills are issued monthly with readings on the 25th, mailed before month-end, and due on the 15th; residential water is priced at an $18.00 standby fee plus $5.12 per 1,000 gallons, residential sewer at $16.00 plus $1.50 per 1,000 gallons, with tiered commercial rates and a 10% late-payment penalty. Property taxes are levied at 13.9396 mills (11.5874 general operating + 2.3522 village improvements), and the Village augments tax revenue through state-shared funds, DDA TIF capture, and minor fees including a $1.00 quarterly lead-test fee and a $75.00 storm water inspection charge.

Distribution is exclusively domestic and limited to village boundaries: in-person payments at the Village Office at 8569 State Rd or self-serve payments through BSA Online. Marketing/citizen engagement is handled via the official website (millingtonvillage.org, hosted by Abadata Computer Corp), a Facebook page, a public Google Calendar, and a clerk email inbox. The Village executes shared-service arrangements with adjacent Millington Township (elections, assessment), Tuscola County EDC (economic development), and local civic organizations (Millington Community Schools, Arbela District Library, Millington Chamber of Commerce, Millington-Arbela Historical Society).
