Fifth Street Road Project

The City of Lincoln, State of Illinois, and County of Logan have partnered to redevelop Fifth Street Road west of Lincoln Parkway (Old Route 66) to the Interstate overpass. Not only will this improve the roadway itself, but was to correct water drainage along the roadway itself from neighboring developments.

Important Update

 

Attention Customers,

We have been notified by several of our customers lately that calls have been coming in about Ameren accounts.  We have been told that the callers claim to be contractors or representatives of Ameren and they need to discuss your accounts.  Ameren does not use contractors for this type of work and Ameren will not call the customer to confirm details on an account.  These calls are scams.  The caller is looking to get your account numbers so they can switch your supply contract.  We have also been told that these calls are coming from different numbers each time.  Please be aware not to give our account number over the phone, please make sure you know who you are doing business with.  The rates being offered by these callers can be 45% higher than current rates and will involve fees from your current supplier.  


We want to make sure that our customers are informed with what tactics are being used in the market right now and be prepared how to handle these calls.  If you prefer not to handle these calls feel free to give them our number to call and we can handle it for you.  

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

Thank you,

Justin Cheger
VP Operations

Once again, the City of Lincoln went out for bid to lock in the lowest rate possible for the citizens of Lincoln.  Please review the following video explaining the program and what you will need to do depending on your current situation.  If you have any questions please contact your Alderman or the Mayor.

 

Last year, Lincoln Police Department personnel responded to more than 6,105 requests for assistance from criminal investigations to mental health crisis interventions to school security and animal complaints. Officers also generate activity which involves traffic stops, school checks, business checks, and other community relations which pushes our activity over 10,000 last year during COVID.  To maintain a consistent and professional response, the department relies on comprehensive, up-to-date policies.

 

Recently, the Lincoln Police Department was recognized by the Lexipol Connect program for achieving Gold level for consistently and effectively disseminating policies to officers, issuing timely policy updates as laws change, and ensuring officers are trained on policies. Lexipol is the nation’s leading content, policy and training platform for public safety agencies; the Connect program tracks Lincoln Police Department performance on five metrics proven to measure success in policy management.

 

“Policy – and regularly training on policy – is crucial to the success of our department. We are proud to be recognized by Lexipol Connect for continuously improving professionalism and safety,” says Chief of Police Paul Adams. 

 

Lincoln Police Department’s excellence in policy and policy training enhances community safety by ensuring consistent, effective response based on national best practices.

  

“This recognition signifies that the Lincoln Police Department is dedicated to their mission of protecting and serving the community by consistently striving to remain up-to-date on vital policies and training. I commend all department personnel on this accomplishment and sincerely thank them for their commitment to their profession and for proudly serving our community”, says Acting Mayor Tracy Welch.
