Taylorville City Council met on Monday evening to discuss business and the main topic of discussion was sewer lines. The motion was brought to the floor that had been worked on in committee about the bill being split in half between resident and the city but Aldermen Larry Budd had some concerns on it over how much the City of Taylorville should be responsible for. 

Alderman Ernie Dorchinecz rebutted saying that actually this does more for the people than previous ordinances had. 

Attorney Rocki Romano was asked about clarifying Alderman Dorchinecz’s points. Romano agreed.

The motion passed 6-2 with Aldermen Jim Olive and Alderman Larry Budd voting no. A motion was also approved to approve a permanent boat dock on Lake Taylorville at 2701 Eastwood Drive. Mayor Bruce Barry thanked State Senator Andy Manar for all of his help for Taylorville during his time in office. Manar is resigning from the Senate to take a Senior Advisor position in Governor JB Pritzker’s office. Mayor Barry also says that it is time to start cleaning up the individual wards. 

The next city council meeting is set for January 18th.
