A Village of Bluffton flag (see photo) flies high above the Allen County Museum on Market Street Lima, thanks to the efforts of Richard Boehr of Bluffton. The Bluffton flag shares equal time with the City of Lima flag and the American flag at the museum.
The museum recently opened its newly expanded addition, and the flags were hoisted up the flag pole.
The Bluffton flag is red and white and has the imagine of the town hall on it.
The cost of health insurance hit home on Dec. 13. Bluffton council renewed its health insurance for 2011 with Medical Mutual of Ohio. The cost increase to the village is 49 percent over 2010 rates.
Council also approved a three-year contract extension Stephen Chamberlain as village solicitor at the same compensation level as the previous contract.
Both those actions followed a 20-minute executive session by council.
