(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members have approved a new three-year contract with the IBEW Union representing a portion of City employees.
The contract will include a three percent raise each year of the contract. There were a number of changes to wording in the contract which pertained to full-time fire department employees, which the City no longer has.
Council members also approved the purchase of a 2020 Ford F-150 pickup from Hullman's Ford in Falls City in an amount of $31,343 which is the state bid price. With several options including getting it delivered to Falls City the total cost will be $35,338.
The current Police Department pickup is a 2016 model with more than 100-thousand miles on it.
A request to use Stone Street for a Veteran's Day parade on November 11, was approved.
The Council also approved requesting an extension for use of owner occupied reuse funds. Later in the meeting two housing rehab projects were approved, amounting to just over $22-thousand.
Council members also approved moving forward with a re-plat of 2.2 acres in the Industrial Tract north of Falls City Foods that would allow non-industrial buildings to be built on site.
