The renewal of Firelands Ambulance Service District’s five-year, 1-mill levy was successful Tuesday evening.

According to final, unofficial vote totals from the Ashland County Board of Elections and Huron County Board of Elections, the measure passed by a count of 1,290 (57.20 percent) in favor and 965 (42.79) opposed.

According to county auditor estimates, the levy will collect $134,120 annually at a cost to homeowners of $24 per each $100,000 of the county auditor’s market value per year (or $2 per month). As a renewal, this is money that’s already being paid by such a property owner and is not a new tax.
