										On  
										Tuesday evening, John Andrews, director 
										at the Lincoln Park District addressed 
										the Lincoln City Council during public 
										participation. He was in attendance to 
										review a letter delivered to each 
										alderman the week prior, outlining the 
										financial concerns of the park district, 
										and asking the city to consider 
										including money in the budget to help 
										ease those concerns.
