(KLZA)-- The financial picture for the City of Auburn continues to improve. In recent years the City Council has approved paying off a number of bonds that helps allow the City more financial freedom.
During this weeks Council meeting, a motion was approved to retire another $205,000 in municipal bonds.
The Auburn Council has been looking for at least a couple of years at improving entrance signage to the community. Originally, $70,000 was budgeted for two signs. Monday night the Council approved a plan for additional signs and less money.
Nebraska Sign and Nichols Masonry will work together on the sign project, which will cost $45,400. A sign will be put at all four entrances to the community. Sites are being sought for the south and east entrances to Auburn.
The Nichols Masonry Company is also going to take on another project in the community. Last month a dilapidated building on the southwest portion of the square was deeded to the City. The Nichols company has agreed to demolish the building at no cost to the city, in return for being allowed to salvaging the brick in the building. Mayor Kudrna also noted that no action was taken on the City purchasing the former Carsmart Property at 1004, 14th Street. Another entity submitted a higher bid than the City had offered for the property.
