No action was taken by the Council members on the agenda item. Olsson Associates will prepare some ideas and report back at a later date. There will be no costs involved.

In other action Monday night the Auburn Council approved ordinances confirming the sale of two properties near the high rise apartment. One of which sold for $1,500 and the other for $1,700.

Six housing rehabilitation projects were approved, each with a price tag of about $20,000. Grant funds will be used to cover the costs.

The Auburn Council also approved Mayor Kudrna’s re-appointments of E.C. Hartwig and Harry Bridgmon to the Municipal Tree Board.
