The Taylorville City Council met on Tuesday evening. The board discussed renovations and beautifying of the city with the downtown taylorville.org Facebook page.  Steve Craggs spoke about some of the latest efforts including a huge promotional for promoting the city. The organizers of downtowntaylorville.org are working on the website.

The motion to approve the Class O Liquor License for MG Gaming at 120 North main was approved 4-3 with Bryant, Dorchinecz, Olive, and Budd voting yes. There has been talk about what to do with the road that ends behind the Steak and Shake. Mayor Bruce Barry praised the opening of the industrial park although the actual action was tabled due to a mishap with the paperwork so it will be approved in February.

Mayor Barry says that the Police Department will continue to perform their duties to the best of their ability despite the newest legislature going through on police reform.

The board approved equipment purchases for both the Taylorville Police and Fire Departments. The next City Council meeting is set for February 1st, 2021.
