(KLZA)-- The Humboldt City Council tabled action on bids for running electricity to the Southeast Nebraska Memorial Cancer Garden when they met Tuesday evening.  

Only one bid had been submitted and the committee was waiting for a second bid before moving forward. In addition, the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Humboldt and the Southeast Nebraska Memorial Cancer Garden Committee was tabled until the August 15th Council meeting. 

The council approved the expenditure of $1,500 as the 10-percent match, for a grant the City received for a Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality study.

The Council approved renting six Porta- Pottys for the August 21, Solar Eclipse event.

Council member Dean Bogle is forming a committee to look into advantages of Humboldt becoming a Certified Local Government for communities having a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places.
