Featured Speaker
North Lincoln City Council Tammy Ward and James Michael Bowers
Our North Lincoln City Council members gave us an update on the happenings of the council. James Michael Bowers mentioned an ordinance just passed concerning apprenticeships and its benefits. Every ten years the council goes through the redistricting process and it’s that time again. Areas mostly stayed the same with slight tweaks. The scooter pilot program downtown has concluded and was successful. Lincoln will be going forward with them keeping the current rules in place by-in large. Tammy Ward mentioned that there is a public hearing on food truck ordinances to allow them to come to residences and set up more than ten minutes. There has been a lot of activity in the Waterford Community regarding housing development. Budget briefings have begun, and projections are ahead at the moment. Mainly driven by money given for the pandemic relief. Our Council members fielded questions concerning Lincoln roads, the malfunctioning LED city lights and a new city inclusion park. A reminder that the City Council meets every Monday.
