Marty Neitzel, Acting Mayor, is
announcing her decision to run for Mayor of Lincoln in the primary
election to be held on February 28, 2017.

Marty was born and raised in Lincoln, Illinois, and
has lived here all her life. On September 21, 2015, she was honored
by being appointed Acting Mayor by the City Council. After serving
12 months in this position, Marty's love for Lincoln has prompted
her to run for Mayor so that she can continue serving the City with
the same level of enthusiasm she has shown to date.
Marty gained valued experience in both business and customer service
during the 25 years that she partnered with her husband in operating
their auto repair service, Art's Truck and Auto Repair. As a Claims
Adjuster with Economy Fire and Casualty Insurance for 17 years, she
attained additional experience in the areas of compromise and
collaboration while working to settle property damage and home owner
claims.

Lincoln, and during that time she gained invaluable knowledge and
insight into the workings of city government. With her background
serving as alderman and Acting Mayor, she has found that the most
important attributes of a public servant are to be available and
approachable to the people of Lincoln. Consequently, Marty has
maintained regular office hours every week, on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.
Listed below are several of the city’s ongoing projects, either
approved or pending, which Marty has been monitoring.
They are:
-
Maintaining a balanced budget for the City of
Lincoln
-
Communicating with the Street Department
Supervisor on the status of needed street repairs and
construction of the new Street Department Facility
-
Monitoring the Sewer Department's proposed
updates for completion of the 5-year long term control plan
which is mandated by the EPA.
