Auburn City Council tackled a packed agenda Thursday night that included a Juneteenth proclamation, the swearing-in of new police officers and promotions within the Auburn Police Department, and several major infrastructure and economic development items. Among the key issues before council were a proposed $2.8 million bond ordinance for municipal building improvements, environmental review actions tied to future water system upgrades, agreements with the Auburn Downtown Partnership, the sale of city-owned property at 55 Parker St., and the adoption of a new revolving loan policy. Council members also considered grant funding for summer recreation and community events, along with a FEMA grant application to help the Auburn Fire Department purchase new training and firefighting equipment.
