From The Lima News:

LIMA - Area veterans' groups who maintain offices in Memorial Hall will no longer have to worry if those offices will remain there. Allen County commissioners this morning approved an agreement that settles "miscommunication" problems earlier in the year.

Under the terms of the newly-approved memorandum of understanding, commissioners will continue to be responsible for payment of utilities and general maintenance. The board of the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center will continue to operate the facility and serve as a community point of contact.

Cindy Wood, director of the Civic Center, said the agreement is for one-year with an option to renew on an annual basis.

In February, representatives of veterans' groups approached county commissioners as rumors circulated the county's budget crisis would force the groups out of the 100-year-old building.
