Fostoria is moving forward with a plan to reach a settlement with a former employee. The Review-Times reports city council voted to allow Mayor Eric Keckler to enter into a separation agreement with former city engineer Dan Thorton during their Tuesday meeting.

Thorton had a contract with the city through 2020, so the city has to settle his contract.

Fostoria officials let Thorton go in mid-November as part of a reorganization plan.
