(Audubon) A new Chief of Police has been hired in Audubon.
City Clerk Joe Foran says the Council approved a resolution for the hiring of Coby Gust on Monday. “He has been with the Audubon Police Department since 2005, so about 16 years of experience with us.” Gust’s starting salary will be $70,000. This creates an additional vacancy for an officer with the department.
Elsewhere at Monday’s meeting the Council denied a handicap parking request from Hockenberry Family Funeral Home. “They were asking for a handicap spot in front of their business and the council felt like that would be setting too much of a precedent to have other businesses ask for one in front of theirs. They felt like most handicap spots are kind of on the ends of the blocks so having one in the middle just wasn’t necessary.”
The council this week passed a second reading of an ordinance to allow for fees of fire services. A third reading is needed before a resolution will be put into place.
