The Falls City Council held a special session Monday night, approving two key measures that will impact local business and infrastructure.
The council unanimously approved a conditional use permit requested by Isaac Knight to operate a firearms and ammunition sales business at 1801 Stone Street. The business, named Paladin Firearms and Gunsmithing, will occupy the space following the city’s public hearing, where no objections were raised.
In other business, the council approved the purchase of a new wastewater lift station pump from Allied Systems of Des Moines, Iowa, at a cost of $17,550. The new pump will replace a 40-year-old unit serving the northern portion of Falls City, including residential areas, the hospital, and two nursing homes.
City officials noted the existing pump is severely worn and in need of immediate replacement to ensure continued, reliable service.
