From the Council Mayor Pro Tem Singer provided a PowerPoint presentation regarding preservation of the Auburn Avenue Theater and other notable historic buildings in Auburn. The Auburn Avenue Theater was originally constructed as a bus depot or auto livery in 1926 by the North Coast Transportation Company. It was remodeled in 1943 as a theater. The Auburn Dance Studio, originally a Carnegie library building, located at 306 Auburn Avenue, was constructed in 1914 with a $9,000 donation from the Andrew Carnegie Foundation on two lots donated by Arthur Ballard. The building served as the City's Page 4 City of Auburn Council Meeting Minutes March 5, 2007 Library until 1962. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The City's original post office, located 126 Auburn Avenue, and which now houses the Public Health Offices, was constructed in 1937. There is speculation that the building was constructed under the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The post office building was dedicated on March 29, 1938.

From the Mayor Mayor Lewis commented on the Auburn Firefighters Banquet where firefighters honor their own with medals of valor and recognize a Firefighter and Officer of the year as well as those who have retired.
