(Audubon) The Audubon City Council has opted to fill their vacancy by appointment.
An opening on the council arose when Nick Weihs moved out of city limits. City Clerk Joe Foran says an appointment will be made during a special meeting on January 23rd. “Basically they are just going to pull the name. They have three candidates and they feel that all three candidates are very qualified so they are just going to pull the name out of a hat.” The appointee will fill the seat until an election in November.
In other news, Public Works Employees Greyson Gust and Marc Bills received a 5% raise to get them up to speed with other city employees. “Those two were the only union employees that we have left, so they were maxed out at a 2% raise in July. They would have gotten 2% here in January, but the rest of us ended up getting a total of seven.”
Foran adds the 3rd Officer for the Police Department is heading to the academy and three applicants are being vetted for the vacant fourth position.
