Suit seeks Elyria City Hall authority over township trustees
A Lorain County case asks whether Elyria City Council can remove Elyria Township trustees from City Hall and if the township retains any legal rights to use City Hall space. The suit questions the trustees’ authority outside township bounds and whether Elyria can appropriate the township’s interest in City Hall. The 1905 deed gave the township use of a room for $35,000, and a 1905 transfer reserved City Hall ownership to the city with township use rights.
