							Members of 
							the Lincoln City Council view a powerpoint 
							presentation on Saturday during a review of the 
							Lincoln 2020 Strategic Plan. The group looked at 
							data from the first strategic planning sessions in 
							March of 2015; then discussed what they have 
							accomplished, what yet needs to be done, and what 
							could be added to the plan for future years. LDN 
							will begin on Tuesday with a series of reports 
							regarding this one-year anniversary review of the 
							plan.
