Fairfield appoints town planner

By Linda Petersen
FAIRFIELD—On June 27, after a phone conference with Tyree Pulham and a discussion on the duties and responsibilities of the position, the Fairfield town council appointed Pulham as town planner. Pulham had been serving on the planning and zoning commission, a position he has resigned from. The council also met with Pulham later that evening.

As his first order of business, Pulham said he felt the town's building permit application and process needs to be updated. The town council members all agreed. Pulham plans to work on it and to have a new application to present to the council on July 20.

For some time, the town council has been working on a subdivision ordinance. They have been studying other municipalities' subdivision ordinances to determine what makes the most sense for Fairfield.

To this end, the council met on June 1 with state ombudsman Brent Bateman who is a land use expert. At their request, he outlined the separate responsibilities of the town council, planning and zoning commission and the state. He further instructed them on conditional uses, prohibited uses, subdividing, roads, appeals and annexations.

In other business, the town council approved a $650 reimbursement to Vern Carson who used his own equipment, gravel and time to fix a recent water break line. It also approved a onetime payment of $300 to Tyler Thomas who spent six and a half hours working on the line himself. The town will also purchase a load of gravel for future use and to replace Carson's gravel that was used for the repair of the water line. The remaining load of gravel will be used at the cemetery.

The Fairfield Town End of Summer Bash will be held Saturday, Sept. 16.
