Sue McLaughlin, city administrator, and Ken Greenslate, Lincoln police chief, stand in a doorway in the city's police department offices. Some rooms are small enough that aldermen had to take turns going in and out. Alderman Tom O'Donohue slides between a fire truck and a large piece of stationary equipment in the city of Lincoln firehouse. This is the only path through the firehouse when trucks are parked inside.

Tuesday evening, members of the Lincoln City Council and city government took tours of the city's police and fire departments. The purpose of the tours was to give the respective chiefs an opportunity to speak about the conditions in which they and their staff work on a daily basis. The city is currently trying to find solutions for these problems and is struggling with finding a means to finance a new facility for the departments that would accommodate their needs more comfortably.  LDN will have complete coverage on the tours and other city issues in its Thursday edition.
