Fayette Police Chief Dusty Dunn told the Fayette City Council he will not push for landlord guidelines arguing that tenants’ living arrangements vary widely and no ordinance can address all personal situations. The council also hired Bear Creek Archaeology to study a 2.5 mile recreation trail corridor to the Volga River Recreation Area, with a Phase 1 survey costing up to $6,000 and starting within 30 days.
