The City of Taylorville met to discuss business on Tuesday evening due to the holiday on Monday. At the Council meeting, The City of Taylorville voted to amend the business district development policy to include a retailers' occupation tax, service occupation tax, and hotel operators’ occupation tax. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry said he felt that this was a fair amendment since most in the city were already subject to this.

The Mayor said in his comments, that this amendment shows taxpayer dollars at work. Office space has also been designated at the municipal building for the Safe Passage Program. 

There will also be some new stop signs put in Taylorville. One stop sign will be put at the intersection of Long and Poplar Streets which will make this a 4 way stop.  The other stop sign will go up at Taylorville Boulevard and Park Avenue.  The Fire Station roof is in need of repairs. The Finance committee will look into funds for repairing it as Chief Mike Crews has stated the leak is creating mold in the carpets. The next City Council meeting will be on September 16th.
