Hillsdale, Mich. —

Hillsdale County residents approved a ballot issue Tuesday to reset the 911 phone surcharge.


“I’m very pleased with the voter’s support,” 911 Director Doug Sanford said.


The proposal, which passed 2,282 yes to 1,408 no,  allows the county board of commissioners to reset the surcharge to a maximum of $3 per month per device, but the board said it will only levy $2.25.


Hillsdale County Clerk Marney Kast said the numbers are unofficial until the canvassing committee meets. However she said given the size of the margin she does not think it is possible a sizable enough discrepancy exists to change the outcome.
