A central Illinois community is putting tracking devices on its city-owned vehicles.
Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch explains this simply as an accountability measure for both the City and staff as well as the community.
According to the Mayor, there is a monthly fee for the service and the devices but they already contract with the company that is going to install these devices.
Mayor Welch believes this is a preventative measure more than reactive. While they have had a few issues in the past, this is something they hope will keep from anything in the future causing trouble.
The Mayor says it has been a pretty quiet start to the new year for the City Council in 2024.
