Taylorville City Council Votes To Add Full Time Dispatcher To Police Station, Discuss Sidewalk Project

The Taylorville City Council met Monday evening, and while the focus was heavy on dispensaries in Taylorville, many other issues were discussed and voted on. A vote was passed 7-0 in favor of advertising for another full-time dispatcher in the Taylorville Police Department as right now there are 4 dispatchers and that’s not enough to cover the full week. There was also a long discussion of the First National Bank of Taylorville Sidewalk Project as the discussion of a prevailing wage is adding to the cost of the actual project. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry wants to remind everyone to please be safe especially as School has started once again. He also says that he has applications for the new Street and Sewer Superintendent. 

 

 

A vote was held for the City Council to contribute $7,500 for three years towards the 4th of July Fireworks Display. The motion passed 6-1 with Aldermen Megan Bryant voting no. She explained her reasons for voting against the motion.

 

 

The motion to have the city partner up with Lincoln Land Community College to upgrade and repair cabins was tabled, as the college has lost their instructor and are unsure whether the program will continue. The next Taylorville City Council Meeting will be held on September 2nd.
