YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County voters in November will decide on a .85-mill, five-year renewal levy sought by the county’s Mental Health Board.

The levy, which expires in Dec. 31, 2009, generated about $3,168,000 in 2007, said Ronald Marian, executive director of the agency. The levy is a renewal and would not increase taxes, he said.

The board on Thursday also approved spending up to $75,000 for television, newspaper and display ads to promote the levy.
