Voters in Green Township rejected a 1-mill, five-year tax levy, part of which would be used to buy and preserve green space, 64 percent to 36 percent.

        If the measure had passed, Green would have been the second township in Greater Cincinnati to publicly fund a green-space program. Anderson Township has used a similar tax for a green-space program for 10 years.

        The Green Township levy would have generated $1 million. About $350,000 would have been used for the green-space program, said Bob Gardner, treasurer of the committee to get the levy passed. The other $650,000 would have been used for parks and recreation.

        In Anderson Township, a levy for fire, police and medical services passed the second time around, 54 percent to 46 percent. The 2.78-mill levy will generate about $2.5 million.

        “This will allow us to staff two additional life squads,” said township Fire Chief Dan Esslinger. “We will be able to put a life squad at our two stations 24 hours a day.”

        Anderson Township voters also approved a 1.9-mill replacement levy for parks that will generate an estimated $1.8 million yearly. The levy will cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $55 a year.

        Other key issues decided Tuesday:

        • In Evendale, residents held onto a 50-year-old council-mayor form of government, instead of a council-manager system, by a 67 percent to 33 percent.

        • Colerain Township voters approved a 4.34-mill levy for five years to support its fire and medical services, by a 63 percent to 37 percent margin.

        The levy will generate $4.4 million annually and will cost the owner of a $100,000 house about $127 a year.

        • Waste collection in Columbia Township will get a boost in funding, thanks to voter support Tuesday. A renewal of a 3.2-mill levy for another three years will not cost any increase in property taxes by a 1,210 to 441 vote margin.

        • Greenhills voters approved a 20-year-old, 0.7-mill levy for another five years. The levy was first passed in 1980 and has been renewed every five years. It will generate $17,000 annually and will be used to fund recreation.

        • The village of Fairfax renewed a 40-year-old tax levy for waste collection. It is a 0.96-mill levy for five years and brings in $30,000 annually without increasing property taxes.

        • A 6.6-mill levy in Glendale was allowed to die while voters approved another 6.6-mill levy that will bring in more money. The new levy will bring in $500,000.
