Official statutory text
Sec. 6d.
The township park commission may request that the township board submit to the voters of the township the question of the issuance of township bonds, the proceeds of which shall be used in the acquisition of lands for township parks and places of recreation. A majority vote of the qualified voters voting shall authorize the issuance of township bonds. The issuance of township bonds shall be governed by the revised municipal finance act, 2001 PA 34, MCL 141.2101 to 141.2821. However, if the township has no outstanding indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, and the amount of the total proposed acquisition cost is less than 1 per cent of the assessed valuation of the township, the township board may authorize and direct the township park commission to purchase or condemn designated lands for township parks and places of recreation and may pay annually to the township park commission the available portions of contingent funds of the township necessary to pay for the acquisition of the lands. The township board shall determine the maximum amount to be paid for these lands and if acquisition is made by purchase instead of condemnation, shall also prescribe the terms of payment.
