Countywide levies were three for three Tuesday.

Ashtabula County voters renewed the 1-mill Senior Services levy, the 0.6-mill Mental Health and Recovery Services Board levy, and approved a replacement levy to repair and maintain the buildings of the Ashtabula County Joint Vocational School (ACJVS).

Unofficial results from the Ashtabula County Board of Elections on Tuesday evening showed that the ACJVS levy passed with 58.88 percent of the vote, 16,079 for the levy, and 11,230 against it. The permanent improvement levy replaces one that voters first approved in 1990 and renewed every five years. It generated about $270,000 annually for the maintenance and repair of the Jefferson Township facility.

The replacement levy will generate increased revenue for permanent improvements because it will be calculated on current real-estate values, rather than those of 1990. Jerome Brockway, ACJVS superintendent, said the increase was necessary to deal with a long list of major updates that need to be made to the 40-year-old campus. He calculated that the board will need to spend $461,000 annually to maintain the existing buildings.

“This will enable us to maintain the buildings and maintain the fine facilities the county residents have given us,” a relieved Brockway said Tuesday evening.

He said the board can move forward with its plans to replace the lighting, and heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems in the buildings, which are so antiquated that parts are not readily available to make repairs. That work won’t begin until 2011, however, when the district actually starts to receive the revenue generated by the replacement levy. In the meantime, Brockway said the board must deal with some mandated repairs to the school’s sewage treatment system.

Unlike the old levy it replaced, the new one is continuing and won’t have to be placed before voters every five years.

The Senior Services Levy received 75.37 percent of the votes, or 20,609 votes for the levy.

Patrick Arcaro, executive director of Ashtabula County Job and Family Services, said the senior services levies historically have enjoyed strong support across the state and Ashtabula County has followed that trend consistently.

“We felt pretty good about this one,” he said. “There was a large amount of support for it, and a lot of hard work went into it.”

The 1-mill levy generates about $1.6 million annually and funds a variety of programs for the county’s senior citizens. Many of these programs allow seniors to stay in their homes, live independently and overall, lower the cost of their care, said levy proponents.

Nearly two-thirds of the county’s voters gave their nod to the Mental Health levy. The vote was 17,131 for the levy, 9,836 against.

As with the Senior Services levy, renewal of the 0.6-mill Mental Health levy will not increase taxes for county property owners. The levy generates about $633,000 annually and has been renewed for the past 35 years.

The board’s major outreaches in the county are Lake Area Recovery Center, Signature Health and Community Counseling Center. The board served more than 3,000 adults and about 1,000 children in 2008.

In local issues, the trend was likewise to approve levies. Only two, a 1-mill Geneva Township Fire levy and Grand Valley Local Schools District 1.55-mill permanent improvement levy, failed to pass. A Windsor Township 2-mill operating levy ended up in a dead tie, 222-222. The local-issues results are as follows:
