7:15 p.m. -- The regular city
council meeting will begin. In this big-issue session the council
will vote on matters pertaining to bringing a Goody's and a Dollar
Tree to Lincoln. The developer, Diversified Acquisition of Overland
Park, Kan., has asked the city to financially partner with it in
this undertaking, saying it will bring other businesses and jobs to
the area.
If the lawyers for the city and
the developer have worked out the agreement details, the council
will vote on the following issues:
--Approval of the Business
Development District at 1300-1310 Woodlawn Road.
--Approval of the Business
Redevelopment Plan.
--Acceptance of the
redevelopment agreement.
If you are in support or
against this project, plan to attend tonight's meeting or contact a
council representative to make your wishes known.
Also scheduled for a vote
tonight
7 p.m. -- The Public Vehicle
Licensing Board will continue discussion and possibly vote on
whether to issue a license for an additional, second taxicab
company. The board is to make their decision based on whether there
is public need for the service. The question added to this
consideration is whether or not two businesses can survive at this
time in Lincoln. The license request is by Bill Shelby and Diana
Malone.
The
meetings are in City Hall chambers.
