(KLZA)-- The Auburn City Council honored a longtime city employee during the April 10th City Council meeting. 

Auburn Mayor Scott Kudrna presented an engraved watch to City Hall Secretary Denise Eggers for her 40 years with the City. 

The Mayor credited Eggers with being the driving force behind Auburn’s Tree City USA Awards, which are the most received by any community. 

Auburn was recently awarded their 41st consecutive “Tree City USA” Award. 

The Mayor also pointed out Eggers is not planning to retire. 

After hearing about the Legion Park Bandshell concert plans for this summer from Kevin Casey, the Council approved funding for the series. 

Eight concerts and two movie nights are planned as part of this year’s program. 

The Council also agreed to provide $1,000 for signage and the rental of port-a-potties during the Bike Ride Across Nebraska overnight stay in Auburn on June 4th.
