The Taylorville Park Board met on Monday evening for a special meeting at Manners Park.  The topic of hours and pay for two Park District employees is in part what prompted the special meeting.

The board needed to formally approve of the pay rates for newly-hired office administrator Linda Moomey and Recreation Director Jessica Franks.  Board member Marlane Miller laid out what their pay rates would be, based on annual salary and hours per week.

The board voted to approve these rates. 

Prior to that discussion, the board voted in favor of the new trustees being able to take an orientation “boot camp” as part of their introduction to the board.  The board also voted to approve a request by Walmart to hold a sale in the Chautauqua building on Saturday, June 21, to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network. 

The board went into executive session after an open portion which lasted just short of nine minutes.  The next regular meeting is tentatively set for Monday, June 23.
