The Lima City Council adopted Resolution 3‑25 on April 7 congratulating the Allen County Sharks Special Olympics basketball team for winning the Ohio Division 3 state championship.
Councilor Jordan moved the resolution on the floor and the council approved it on a voice vote followed by a roll‑call showing an 8–0 recorded vote on first reading. Council members praised the players and coaches for their “dedication and perseverance” and invited the coach and athletes forward; a person identified in the record as representing the Sharks thanked council for the recognition.
Why it matters: The resolution notes the Sharks’ final game score, 63–55 against Madison County, and describes the title as an inspiration to the community and a demonstration of inclusion in sports.
No further legislative action was required for the ceremonial resolution; it was passed and recognized during the meeting.
