Lincoln City Council approves routine expenditures, five-year taser contract and appointments

The Lincoln City Council on Oct. 20 approved a package of routine consent items, a five-year contract extension for tasers and several small purchases and appointments during a 36-minute regular meeting.
The approvals included the consent agenda (payment of bills; minutes from the Oct. 6 meeting; a street closing for the Lincoln Winter Wonderland tree-lighting on Nov. 28; and temporary parking restrictions for a Brew 66 coffee trailer), a $6,500 sponsorship for Work Camp for Lincoln, a $6,535 LED lighting purchase, advising consent to a mayoral appointment to the Diversity and Inclusion Commission, a five-year taser contract extension with Axon Enterprise, Inc., and a lease agreement for the Depot Event Center.
Why it matters: The contract extension with Axon will commit the city to a five-year arrangement at a stated annual cost; council approval also continues small capital and event-related expenditures the city uses for public programming and downtown improvements.
