9) GUNNISON FIRE DEPARTMENT: The Fire Department is thinking of having Rocky Mountain Power to collect the Fire fees so we don't have to do it as a Town. They have realized that the ones outside of Town don't pay fees for fire and they expect to be helped when a fire comes their way. There are many that live in the County and don'This is just a Heads up situation and it might not happen for quite a while, but it is being considered.
10) ARBNB POLICY: WHAT CHANGES DO WE WANT? DO WE ACCEPT THIS POLICY ONCE WRITTEN UP? We talked about the ARBNB POLICY and found it needed some changes for our Town of Fayette. LaMar Bartholomew came and talked to us about how he felt about it and he was not pleased at how many Rules there would be. He has been considering renting out his basement and it would really interfere with him in his own house.
All in All it isn't for our Town. Jed said that he could write another Policy up and put in what we need as a Town. We will address this another time.
