Allen County Commissioners dismiss Child Services Board President
By Trevor Hubert - thubert@limanews.com
LIMA The Allen County Board of Commissioners moved to dismiss the President of the Allen County Children Services Board on Wednesday morning. All three commissioners voted to remove Nadia Lampton due to her conduct on social media, which was deemed inappropriate. All ACCS board members are appointed to their positions by the Allen County Commissioners.
“The appointments that we make to these boards, we tell them in interviews, and we can’t stress it enough that every board member that serves in this county through an appointment is an extension of the three of us,” said Commissioner Beth Seibert. “That’s why when this came to our attention, we had to take an action of consideration that brought us to today.”

Allen commissioners write with Birch Solar concerns
By Trevor Hubert - thubert@limanews.com
LIMA The Allen County Board of Commissioners sent a letter to the Ohio Power Siting Board on Wednesday, citing concerns over the Birch Solar Project. The county has received numerous calls from residents about the project and its potential problems, many of which are laid out in the letter.
Among those concerns included drainage issues, the outsourcing of energy produced by the solar grid, the large footprint of the project and concerns over decommissioning once the solar panels have reached their end.
“I’ve looked at these issues and looked at them 30 to 35 years down the road into decommissioning, a time when I won’t be in this office,” said Commissioner Beth Seibert. “(We are) helping to draw attention to things that I don’t think were properly addressed in the application and need addressed now, and a better plan put forth now, before this would become an actual project.
