A German Twp. roads levy failed by 12 votes, 323-311. It was an additional 2-mill levy. The levy proposed an additional tax for funds for general construction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges.
In Jefferson Twp., a general operations levy failed by 6 votes, 453-447. The levy would have benefited the unincorporated area of Jefferson Township for the purpose of meeting current expenses at a rate not exceeding 3.75 mills, first due in calendar year 2019.
With a tightening of just one more vote, the Jefferson Twp. operating levy results would have been recounted, said Steve Harsman, Montgomery County Board of Elections deputy director. A margin of one half of one percent triggers automatic recounts. The German Twp. road levy election difference would have needed to be four or fewer votes, he said.
