Mentor voters had four issues on their ballots for the primary — a fire renewal levy, issues seeking approval for work to be done at Mentor Lagoons and the Mentor Library levy.
Voters passed three of the issues.
The library levy, which also went before voters in Mentor-on-the-Lake and Concord Township, passed by 2,007 votes. Library officials promised to restore service hours if the levy passed.
Only one of the Lagoons issues, which sought to bring both public restrooms and gas docks for boaters to the city-owned lakeshore park, passed. Preliminary figures from the Lake County Elections Board showed the gas dock issue failing by 39 votes. The restroom issue passed by 4,116 votes. In all, 16,320 people cast ballots in the restroom issue; 16,223 people voted on the gas dock issue.
So, it appears, from preliminary figures, that 97 more people were interested in deciding on the restrooms at the park.
Apparently, when you wanna go, you gotta go to the polls.
