Several community police departments around the Valley asked voters for additional funds, including Austintown.

Voters turned down an additional 2.4 mills levy for the police department. The levy funds were to be used for items like motor vehicles for the department, along with technology, equipment, building costs and salaries.

The vote was 9,030 against the levy and 8,302 for the levy.

The levy would have brought in $2,260,000 annually and homeowners would pay $84 additional for each $100,000 of value of their property for a continuing period of time.
