Updates to the by-laws must be approved by the Council with the by-laws to be reviewed by the Nebraska Attorney General's Office every 5 years.
The by-laws were first approved in 1962 with 16 pages included. The by-laws booklets are now up to 60 pages.
Also approved was a request from the Falls City Chamber of Commerce to close Chase Street from 20th Street south to 14th Street for a July 4th parade.

Council members also approved blocking off Business Parkway Road, south of Highway 159 on June 27 for Extrication Training between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.
