The Monday night meeting of the Lincoln City Council marked the beginning of a new fiscal year. With that new beginning came the swearing in of four aldermen, one per ward for the city. Seated left to right are the four aldermen who were sworn into their terms of service to the city, and standing directly behind them are their corresponding aldermen for wards one through four.

Seated on the far left is Ward One Alderwoman Robin McClellan who is new to the council, with Ward One Alderman Steve Parrott standing directly behind her. Next is Ward Two Alderman Tony Zurkammer who was elected this year for a full term after being appointed in 2021 to replace Ron Fleshman. Behind Zurkammer is Ward Two Alderman Sam Downs.

Mayor Tracy Welch is in the front row center.

Ward Three Alderman Kevin Bateman was re-elected for a four-year term and behind him is Ward Three Alderwoman Wanda Lee Rohlfs. In Ward Four, Alderman Craig Eimer is also newly elected to the Lincoln City Council. Behind Eimer is Ward Four Alderman Rick Hoefle.

In the back row from the left is Street Superintendent Walt Landers, Waste Treatment Plant Manager Andrew Bowns, City Attorney John Hoblit, City Clerk Peggy Bateman, Building and Zoning Officer Wes Woodhall, City Treasurer Chuck Conzo, Police Chief Joe Meister and Fire Chief Bob Dunovsky.
