(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council Monday night approved seeking a grant application to make further improvements to Prichard Auditorium.

Following a public hearing drawing no public comment the  Council approved seeking a grant of more than $36-thousand from the USDA Rural Development program for assistance with the sound system in the Auditorium.

A grant was awarded to make improvements to the sound  system a few years back. Although the grant was awarded, City Administrator Gary Jorn said the program ran out of funds and the grant money was never received.   

In other business the Council approved having the City Attorney prepare an amendment to a City Zoning Ordinance that would allow private garages in the Downtown Commercial District as recommended by the Planning Commission.
