On Monday evening, in two votes, the Lincoln City Council accepted the resignation of Marty Neitzel as Ward 4 Alderman and also accepted the appointment of Rick Hoefle as the newest Ward 4 Alderman. With Neitzel resigning from her ward, her role with the city will be to serve solely as Mayor. As such she may no longer vote on city issues, with the exception of when her vote is required as mayor in the event of a tie vote. Hoefle will fill out the current aldermanic term that expires on April 30th, 2017.
