Since then, she has used all of her accrued time off and has taken
advantage of the Family Medical Leave Act twice. The end of this
month, her second leave will run out.On March 5, she submitted a
letter announcing she would retire from the city of Lincoln. At
that time, Snyder said a question had arisen regarding Anderson's
retirement, and until it was answered, he would prefer the council
not accept the letter.
Monday night Snyder said the question had been regarding the
actual date of retirement, and it has been answered. Anderson will
officially retire effective March 26.
After the vote was taken on this matter, several council members
said Anderson had been an asset to the clerk's office and they wish
her all the best in the future.
City approves non-disclosure agreement with Ameren
On Monday night it was still undetermined whether voters would
approve a referendum for the city to move forward with the electric
aggregation process. However, there was a motion on the agenda to approve a
non-disclosure agreement with Ameren, in the event that the
referendum did pass.
This agreement will give the city of Lincoln the power to collect
from Ameren personnel information regarding electric accounts in the
city.
This information will be used to determine who can and cannot
benefit from electric aggregation. It will also be used as a basis
for compiling data that will be needed for the bidding
process.

 City attorney Bill Bates talked about the responsibility of the
city in having this personal information. He said the agreement with
Ameren at first included some serious fines assessed to the city if
there is a breach of confidentiality.
He said the language has been toned down a bit, but the fact
remains the city cannot be held harmless if the information obtained
from Ameren is misused.
It was understood by the council that having this information is
a serious responsibility. The information cannot be shared with the
public or talked about publicly.
