Before the meeting, Neitzel visits with Tracy Jackson, street and alley superintendent; Bob Tackett, waste treatment manager; and Les Plotner, city treasurer.

At the beginning of the meeting, Neitzel spoke about Ward 5 and its tremendous assets to the city of Lincoln in industry, commerce, tourism and community.

Hoinacki thanked District 27 for offering their school building for the meeting.

Guests for the evening sat directly in front of the council as they watched and participated in the evening meeting.
