Police are still searching for a man who robbed two other men at gunpoint outside a Lancaster home. 

Lancaster police officers responded to reports of an armed robbery near a Nichols Road home in the early morning hours of May 10. 

When officers arrived at the scene at about 2:05 a.m., they searched for anyone walking nearby who could be a suspect since they didn’t have a description of the robber at the time, according to a police department incident report. 

The day belonged to the defense in the annual Lancaster High School spring football game at Memorial Stadium on Friday afternoon.

Lancaster American Legion Post 31 junior baseball team coach Brant Barnes said the team’s offense is the key to the 2011 season.

Across-the-board raises, restructuring of departments and an overhaul of the hospitality tax grant system are among the possibilities being discussed as city of Lancaster officials plan for next year’s budget. 

Council members and city staff discussed the 2011-12 budget during a special meeting Thursday evening at City Hall.

This was in preparation for the first vote to adopt the budget, which will be during City Council’s 7 p.m. meeting Tuesday. The budget has to pass two readings before it’s adopted.
