Proposal

Should the millage for the City of Flat Rock be increased an additional 1.75 mills ($1.75 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a period of five (5) years, 2012 to 2017, both inclusive, to provide funds to be allocated equally for the operations of the police and fire departments to maintain current service levels, in addition to such other funds as may be allocated by the City Council, raising an estimated $656,250 in the first year the millage is levied?

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
