Terms Used In Michigan Laws 123.341

  • Appraisal: A determination of property value.
  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Fiscal year: The fiscal year is the accounting period for the government. For the federal government, this begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. The fiscal year is designated by the calendar year in which it ends; for example, fiscal year 2006 begins on October 1, 2005 and ends on September 30, 2006.
  • Intangible property: Property that has no intrinsic value, but is merely the evidence of value such as stock certificates, bonds, and promissory notes.
   Unless otherwise provided by contract, all revenues subject to apportionment and all outstanding indebtedness to be separately refunded or assumed by the several public corporations shall be divided in proportion to the net revenues received during the preceding fiscal year from services rendered by the system to property within the respective boundaries of such public corporations. All properties, including buildings, shops, garages, warehouses having a permanent location, shall upon appraisal be purchased by the public corporation within whose boundaries it is located for a percentage of the appraised value, applicable to the division of revenues as herein provided, but so far as necessary to the efficient operation of parts of the system lying within the boundaries of another public corporation, such property may continue to be used for that purpose for a charge to such other public corporation for its proportion of the expenses of operation and repairs. Any cash assets and intangible property shall be divided in the same proportion as herein provided for the net revenues.
