Police Chief Joe Meister

Fire Chief Aaron Ty Johnson

Street Superintendent Walt Landers

Building & Zoning Officer Wes Woodhall

 

Within the city of Lincoln, the appointment of the heads for the various city departments is done annually at the recommendation of the Mayor. This is always done in May, at the beginning of the new fiscal year. On Monday, May 20th, Mayor Tracy Welch asked for approval of the reappointment of Lincoln Police Chief Joe Meister, Fire Chief Aaron Ty Johnson, Street and Alley Superintendent Walt Landers and Building and Zoning Officer Wes Woodhall. The head of the Lincoln Sewer Department, Andrew Bowns is an employee of Veolia and not subject to vote.

All eight aldermen were present and voted unanimously for the re-appointment of Meister and Johnson. Landers and Woodhall were each approved with votes of seven in favor and one against. Alderman Craig Eimer voted no in both instances.

Following the voting each department head was sworn into service to the city by City Attorney John Hoblit. Fire Chief Johnson was not present on the 20th, and took his oath on Tuesday, May 28th at the beginning of the city committee of the whole meeting.

At the Tuesday, May 21st meeting of the Logan County Board, members heard from New Holland Village President Annie Coers about a plan to build affordable housing in New Holland. The proposal included the purchase of the old New Holland High School that currently belongs to the Merriman family. The building would be demolished and the land where it stands plus an adjoining piece behind the school would be developed into apartment units.
