    The City of Fairbury City Council met as per their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, January 15 where reports and hearings filled the evening.

    She reported on the projects and remodeling efforts that the building is currently going through. One project that she did not anticipate would have to be tackled this year was the replacement of the roof of the structure; however, after getting more information she was forced to bump the project up to a critical need.
