LAFAYETTE — The LaFayette City Council addressed several agenda items and heard concerns from residents during its most recent meeting.

Public Comments

Robert Gardner shared a variety of public comments regarding the LaFayette City Council’s Ordinance 409.

“A couple of things about ordinance 490, we don’t have a U.S. flag in this building that I see, and we don’t do the Pledge of Allegiance — and I think we should be doing both,” he said. “Public comment should be three minutes, or whatever the council votes on, but it’s not in the new ordinance.”
