FAIRBURY — A matter of routine business was the rule for Wednesday's Fairbury City Council meeting at City Hall.

The city council approved the consent agenda, including the minutes from the last last meeting, financial reports, police reports and sidewalk requests.

The council also approved a number of items on the regular agenda as business-as-usual continued.

Among the items approved by the council was a request from Linda Fagan and Darren Kerrins to use the gazebo at Veterans Memorial Park for their wedding at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 29. The wedding party will park by the VFW building, and the reception will also be at the VFW.
