(Audubon, Iowa) – The City Council in Audubon will be mulling over ways to fill a vacancy on the Council created by the news during their meeting on Monday, that Councilman Nick Weihs is resigning. His resignation is due to the fact Weihs is moving out of the Audubon City limits. Weih’s term expires in Dec., 2025.

According to City Clerk Joe Foran, Weihs’ seat will likely be filled by appointment until the next election. The Council is tasked now with getting out and finding someone who may be interested in being appointed to the position.

In other business, Foran told the Council that in the next Legislative session of the State, representatives will be considering combining the Local Option Sales Tax with the State Retail Sales Tax and revenue share. Foran explained how that would eventually leave a huge hole in the City budget. The State has had a history of later eliminating revenue sharing income in the favor of keeping it all at the State level. Foran urged Council Members and the public to contact area legislative representatives to stop this legislation.
