LOCAL NEWS Oberlin council settles with gun-rights group that sued over ordinance
In May 2015, the Ohioans for Concealed Carry sought to have its legal fees paid — noting to the court of appeals that Oberlin City Council changed the ordinance because of its lawsuit and it was entitled to the city paying its legal fees.

Ahead of the next hearing on the matter, City Law Director Jon Clark negotiated a settlement with the organization to pay $31,000. The city might be able to win that case, but there still was uncertainty, Clark said Monday.

Because of that uncertainty, Clark suggested the city pay the bill or possibly face a higher penalty at the case’s resolution.
