Lincoln voters will be faced with decisions on three
city races and a bond issue when they enter the polls be
tween & a.m. and 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Three City Council seats are open, four on the School
Board and two on the Airport Authority. One authority
post is the full six-year term and one is for two years.
Voters will be asked to decide whether to approve a
bond issue to construct a performing arts center in down
town Lincoln. For this, the old city hall and federal build-f
ing would be renovated and an auditorium would be built.
In the City Council race, voters will have to decide be
tween six candidates, which includes two incumbents. The
Council candidates are Tarn as Robert (T.R.) Allan, Sue
Bailey, Joseph Hampton, John Robinson, Leo Scherer and
Dorothy Walker. Bailey and Robinson currently are on ,
the council. Allan, Robinson, Scherer and Walker are UNL
graduates. '; .
The seven-member City Council is the legislative
branch of the city government. It has the power of alloca- ;
tion and tax levy, investigative powers, conformation of
mayoral appointments and the powe"r to amend or repeal
ordinances.
City Council members' salaries are $4,000 annually.
The Airport Authority is a five-member board elected
at large to six-year terms. The authority is responsible for .
the operation, maintenance and development of the Air
port and Airport-owned land. Members are unsalaried.
School Board
The School Board is a six-member board elected at'
large. The School Board is responsible for setting school
board expenditures, the single largest tax spender in city
government, as well as governing the Lincoln Public
Schools and the Lincoln Education Service Unit.
. School board members also are unsalaried.
City Council candidates discussed their varying
opinions on a variety of issues this week. While they seem
to be in general agreement on some issues, such as
qualified agreement on county-city consolidation, there is
a clear separation on some issues. i
The over-riding issue in the election seems to be how
city government should acquire and spend its tax money.
T.R. Allan, who says he is the "businessmen's candi
date" says he thinks the city should continue with outside
consultations to study city problems. He said zoning is
another major issue in the election and that the city
should complete the comprehensive plan as soon as
possible.
. Private needs , . '
One participant on the designing of that plan," candi
date Sue Bailey, said the city needs to consider private as .
well as public need when deciding zoning issues.
i Bailey said the Council should liear the demands of
neighborhoods with the same interests as those of the
Chamber of Commerce. She said during her four years on
the Council, she has learned to sort out- issues into basic
categories and consider them in that manner. Bailey said
she considers her Council experience as an asset.
She said she foresees no financial disasters for Lincoln
and thinks the city can maintain its level of services with
no increase in taxes.
However, Dorthy Walker said she thinks the city may
have to curtail or combine city services because financial
resources are limited. She said this is one reason she
supports the consolidation of county and city govern
ment. , '.' .-"
Walker said neighborhood preservation is an important
issue to her in this campaign. She advocates the develop
ment on a neighborhood advisory council to help indivi
dual neighborhoods on important issues and problems.
" Walker also emphasized the need for local energy
conservation programs. She said she would work to revise
the electricity rate structures, encourage alternative
energy programs and enforce insulation programs.
Two fronts
Leo Scherer also said he advocates energy conservation
programs, but said he would do this on two fronts. He
said he thinks energy conservation work should be done in

both private and public sectors. He said he also would
work to improve city services in transportation, down
town development and senior citizens programs.
Scherer says that.when faced with a decision between
people programs or construction projects, he would favor
the people projects.
v Candidate Joseph Hampton agrees that , people
programs are important, but said he could not specify
which programs because his decision would be based on
philosophy or emotion.
He says his order of priorities would be a viable,
economy, high quality of life in the community and
effective use of government to serve the people.
; The sixth candidate, John Robinson, says lie advocates
assessment , of neighborhood needs through attitude
surveys. He said he also would like to establish a division
of economic development to acquire newmoney for the
Urban Development Dept.
Robinson said he thinks the maintenance of high
population density in the core area of the city is import
ant. He said he wants the city to follow the comprehen
sive plan in regulating zoning and land use.
