Alcona County voters will decide on November 3 whether to renew a property tax that funds part of the county's ambulance service. The proposal seeks renewal of up to 1.2095 mills for four years, from 2026 through 2029. If approved, the millage is estimated to raise approximately $1,268,292.40 in its first year, which covers 50% of the department's operating expenditures.
