(KLZA)-- Lower than anticipated cost for the Auburn Legion Park restroom / concession stand building, is going to allow for improvements at the Auburn Recreation Complex. 

During their March 13th meeting the Council approved the purchase of three new scoreboards at the Rec Complex at a cost of $10,000.  .  Mayor Scott Kudrna said the Parks and Pool Committee was planning to purchase the scoreboards next year, but the savings on the Legion Park project lest them with enough money to move forward with the purchase.

The hope is to have the new scoreboards in place prior to the start of the season.  

The council also approved closing Highways 75 and 136 on Friday, July 14th during the Nemaha County Fair Parade.  There will only be one parade this year.  

Mayor Kudrna also reported the Council approved the re-appointment of Dale Thomas to the Auburn Volunteer Fire Department and approved the sale of the 1981 Fire Truck for $2,500. The fire truck was sold on a recent consignment auction.
