(Audubon) The Audubon City Council approved an employee pay increase at Monday’s meeting.
Audubon City Clerk Janell Remsburg says the Council approved a three percent pay increase for the Public Works Department, Police, and the Deputy Clerk.
Remsburg says the Council also discussed relocating the Police Department to the city clerk’s office at the former Audubon State Bank Building.
