Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lincoln public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Cell coverage dead zones in Verdera and Twelve Bridges
Residents in Verdera, Twelve Bridges, and parts of Sun City have dealt with terrible cell service for years. The new city-built tower should fix much of that, and leasing space to carriers could bring in around $10,000 a month to offset costs.
Airport Road fire access and RV storage concerns
A resident warned that hundreds of RVs stored at the end of narrow, 12-foot-wide Airport Road could block emergency vehicles and pose a fire hazard. The city manager said code enforcement cases are active and the fire chief confirmed a type three engine can currently reach the area.
Code Enforcement and Weekend Regulation of Mobile Food Vendors
Residents and commissioners raised concerns about unauthorized roadside food trucks and pop-up stands. City staff announced that management is evaluating weekend code enforcement schedules to better address these violations.
Measure F half-cent sales tax measure
The half-cent sales tax on November's ballot would raise about $6 million a year for police, fire and paramedic services, costing the average family roughly $140 a year. It has no sunset, and the city plans an oversight committee and annual report card if it passes.
