A public hearing is scheduled to take place this evening in Audubon, with regard to the City’s proposed Fiscal Year 2013-2014 budget. The hearing is part of the Audubon City Council meeting, which begins at 7-p.m. According to Audubon City Clerk Lora Hansen, the City’s  tax levy will decrease from the current $19.28 per thousand dollars of taxable valuation, to $17.74 per thousand. The decrease is attributed to the refinancing of a bond issue, which resulted in a lower interest rate. The Council will vote on a resolution approving the budget following the hearing.

In other business, the Audubon City Council will open and announce the bids for the Park Mowing and Cemetery Sexton and Maintenance Contracts, which will likely be followed by a motion authorizing the mayor to sing both contracts.
