The Audubon City Council will meet Monday evening, to once again take up the matter of who will serve as the City Clerk. In a meeting on January 13th, the Council voted not to reappoint long-time City Clerk Lora Hansen. The result of that action was a packed crowd filling the Community Room in the City Hall building on January 27th, demanding answers as why the Council made its earlier decision, and asking questions as to whether it violated State law in doing so. There were hints of possible legal action if the Council did not reconsider their decision.

During tonight’s (Monday night’s) session, according to the agenda, the County Attorney will review the Council’s action. That will be followed by a vote on a motion to rescind and void action taken by the Council with regard to the City Clerk appointment during the January 13, 2014 Council meeting. In addition, there will be discussion and/or consideration “Of applicants for City Clerk position and of tentative proposal, re: Expectations of current City Clerk, ” and the Council will act on the “Appointment of City Clerk or Interim City Clerk.”

Other business, includes a motion on a vote to schedule a public hearing on the acquisition or condemnation of 408 Market Street in Audubon. The Audubon City Council will also hear from Linda Weston, with regard to views in the local paper, and Office of the State Ombudsman.

The final item of business is a review of the proposed 2014-2015 Budget. The Audubon City Council meeting begins at 7-pm, Monday.
