Council proclaims Tri Kappa Week; approves vouchers and praises warming-center response
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the Auburn Common Council proclaimed Feb. 22–28 Tri Kappa Week, approved vouchers read in the record as "2 million 610," and heard council praise for warming-center efforts that helped an unhoused person during extreme cold.
Mayor Dave Clark read a proclamation at the Feb. 3 Auburn Common Council meeting declaring Feb. 22–28, 2026 as Tri Kappa Week in Auburn and encouraging residents to recognize the organization’s community volunteer work.
The mayor read the proclamation aloud and signed it at the meeting, saying in part, “Now therefore, I, Dave Clark, Mayor of the city of Auburn, Indiana, do hereby proclaim February 22 through 28, 2026 is Tri Kappa Week in the city of Auburn.” Members of the local Tri Kappa chapter were invited forward and welcomed.
The council also approved vouchers presented by the clerk/treasurer that were read at the meeting as “2 million 610.” A council member moved approval, a second was made and the motion carried on a voice vote. The transcript does not specify whether the verbalized amount referred to dollars, thousands, or another unit, and no supporting invoice or line-item detail was provided on the record.
Other routine business: Mayor Dave Clark announced that November and December bank reconciliations are complete and posted on the city website, and that department annual reports will be emailed to council members. He also announced the State of the City presentation scheduled for 6 p.m. on Feb. 17, 2026 in the council chambers.
Unfinished-business comments included a council member thanking staff for the warming-center response after a resident reported seeing an unhoused person sleeping in his car during severe cold; the council member said the person now had safer living conditions. Mayor Dave Clark credited internal teams and named Jason Meeks and Deputy Director Mike Van Zyle for coordinating assistance.
The council set its next regular meeting for Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. and adjourned.
