Pontiac residents to pay $141 sanitation fee | Crain's Detroit Business
" A city official says Pontiac is issuing a $141.59-per-household sanitation fee on winter tax bills.
Finance Director John Naglick told The Oakland Press that the fee is necessary because of a shortfall in the sanitation fund and the city's shrinking tax base.
He said it's "really indicative of the fact that our taxable value has fallen so greatly in Pontiac, so we're not bringing in enough from the sanitation millage to cover the $4.4 million in expenses.""
