Petition to Replace Hitching Racks Around Courthouse Block
Fairfield City Council ordered a committee review after a petition from over 800 Jefferson County farmers to replace hitching racks around the Court House block. The body also discussed sidewalk repairs on Briggs street and curb work on Court street, with several petitions denied due to cost and timing. A street grade ordinance on Second street was passed and a special meeting will set tax levy and sewer regulations.
