A grant received through the efforts of Audubon firefighters’ wives has resulted in the Audubon City Hall receiving a defibrillator. City Clerk Lora Hansen told KJAN News the City Council in Audubon was informed about the grant during their meeting, Monday night. The “Firehouse Flames” group is responsible for obtaining the grant, which will also provide for the training of City personnel and those who serve congregate meals, in the use of the life-saving device.

In other business, the Audubon City Council approved a resolution setting May 28th at 7-p.m., as the date and time for a Public Hearing to consider the sale of three lots in block 13 of the City of Audubon. The City took possession of the dilapidated and/or abandoned homes, which were then demolished. Hansen says the City hopes to eventually sell the lots and see new homes built on the land.The Council also passed a resolution setting the date for a Public Hearing on the Budget Amendment for the same meeting on May 28th.

Hansen says also, the City of Audubon will be sending out reminder notices to residents about the need to separate recyclable trash from regular trash. A copy of the rules regarding recycling will be included in the notice.
