Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would once again like to commend our community on the way the entire community pulled together in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura.

“Hurricane Laura dealt our community a huge blow, but as usual, our community came together and made it through,” he said. “Family helping family, friend helping friend, neighbor helping neighbor and stranger helping stranger. Once again, our community stood together and overcame an obstacle.”

Chief Robinson would like to advise the community of a new city ordinance. 

This would be the Town of Rayville Ordinance #998. This new ordinance requires that outdoor events within the Town of Rayville now have a permit.

This ordinance was voted on and adopted by the Rayville Town Council on July 13. 

“If you are having an outdoor gathering in the Town of Rayville and there will be more than 20 people in attendance, you will be required to have a permit,” the chief said. “The Rayville Town Hall will issue permits. There is an application that is to be filled out prior to issuance of the permit. Should you have an outdoor event and fail to get a permit you can and will be fined not less than $250.”

Chief Robinson would like to advise the community that this ordinance will be strictly enforced.
