Five Auburn City Council members were presented with Certificates of Election Tuesday after going unopposed in the upcoming elections.
Ron Anders, Jr. of Ward 2, Brent Beard of Ward 4, Gene Dulaney of Ward 7 and Mayor Bill Ham, Jr. were reelected to their respective positions.
Thomas L. Dawson was elected to the council seat for Ward 8 after running unopposed. He will replace councilperson Bob Norman who chose not to run for reelection.
Elections for contested seats, Wards 1,3, 5 and 6, will be held on Aug. 26.
The council also approved an amendment Tuesday standardizing parking time limits and meter of the municipal parking deck located on Gay Street.
The amendment will place all parking spots on the first floor of the deck under the same regulatory system used in the Gay Street lot.
"Everything under the deck now is being matched by what is currently at the Gay Street lot," city manager Charlie Duggan said. "We still have meters at the lot between the deck and buildings."

The resolution is expected to make AT&T's U-Verse available to Auburn residents.
