Council highlights upcoming Touch-A-Truck event, Monarch Youth Center opening and sewer work on Broadway

Lincoln — Council members used the Sept. 2 meeting to remind residents of three near-term community items: a Touch-A-Truck event scheduled for Sept. 13, the grand opening of the Monarch Youth Center with an 11:00 a.m. ceremony and a tentative noon open house, and an upcoming sewer project on Broadway in front of the State Building. A presiding official told council members about the Touch-A-Truck event on Sept. 13 and encouraged attendance. The same speaker said council members should have received an email about the Monarch Youth Center grand opening, described in the meeting as taking place “Thursday at 11:00” with an open house tentatively set for noon. Separately, a speaker identified as Mr. Landers announced that a sewer project will be underway in front of the State Building on Broadway, possibly starting the next day or the day after. Mr. Landers asked motorists and pedestrians to follow traffic control measures while work is underway. No formal motions or votes were associated with the announcements, which concluded the meeting.
