(KLZA)-- More opportunities for the public to utilize Prichard Auditorium in Falls City will be available beginning Thursday, January 2.

City Administrator Anthony Nussbaum provided information to the City Council during a meeting earlier this month about some of the activities, including basketball and pickleball that will be available for those wanting to take advantage of the additional hours. The building will be open until 9 p-m.

Those interested in a part-time job at the auditorium may contact City Hall or go by Prichard Auditorium and visit with Parks and Recreation Director Briar Burr.

Nussbaum also reported that progress is being made on revamping the City Safety Committee and bringing on more employees versus administrative and management staff. The goal is to have 9 -13 members on the committee.

Each department has been notified to see if they have personnel that would like to be on the committee.

At the time of the meeting Nussbaum said about 11 employees had indicated they are interested in serving on the safety committee.
