Elyria voters back Issue 15 renewal merging two levies into one 10 year property tax measure for Elyria Schools. It will raise about 12.7 million dollars a year for general operating expenses and cost a $100 000 home roughly 477 dollars annually. Final tally 3926 for 2086 against about 65 percent backing.
Elyria Public Library backed by voters as a 1.9 mill property tax levy passed. Director Lyn Crouse, new to the role, steered the campaign to secure funding with 4,727 votes for and 3,108 against, about 60 to 39 percent.
Lorain County turnout in Tuesday's primary fell below 15 percent, disappointing elections officials. Board director Paul Adams and deputy Jim Kramer had anticipated higher participation.
A 1.9 mill levy would raise a little over $2 million annually for Elyria Public Library to fund general operations. Homeowners would pay about $66.50 monthly for a $100,000 property.
Unofficial results show passes for Capital Improvements in State Issue 1, Elyria School Renewal 2, Wellington EVSD Renewal 9, North Ridgeville Renewal for Ambulance 20, Oberlin City Income Tax Additional 22. Failures include Keystone Local District Additional 4, Lorain County Additional 10 and 11, Avon Lake Charter/Gas items, North Ridgeville Roads 19, Brownhelm Township Fire and EMS 24, plus other listed items with no result.
Lorain County voters again opposed a 0.065 mill levy to fund Lorain County Transit. Election returns show 16 746 ballots 58 percent against and 12 180 42 percent in favor with Bev Beidelman chairing a small campaign and expressing disappointment.
Voters in Elyria reject a proposed levy for the Lorain County Crime Lab with 54 percent voting against and 46 percent in favor. County Commissioner Tom Williams favored delaying the measure, citing ongoing probes into missing items at the county's Adult Probation department.
Superintendent Jay Arbaugh failed to secure district funding as Keystone voters rejected the five year 5.95 mill levy. Only 749 residents or 40 percent supported the measure, leaving the school district to seek alternative operating funding.
Amherst officials report Harris Elementary custodian Raymond Tiller age 56 faces two counts of kidnapping and two counts of gross sexual imposition. School locks were changed and parents notified after the arrest. Tiller remained jailed without bond in Lorain County, with an Oberlin Municipal Court appearance planned.
