Taylorville City Council Meets For Second June Meeting

The Taylorville City Council met on Monday evening. The board recognized for their volunteers of the month Jack Brown and James Smith. Brown has worked hard with Smith on the Memorial Day Celebrations. Brown has MC’ed and Smith is the Municipal Band Director. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry was pleased to recognize the two men for their years of service. 

 

 

Jack Brown thanked the board for their support and for the support of the city.

 

 

The biggest surprises of the night came with an ordinance for reduced liquor license fees for gaming parlors and designated drive-up facilities for the sale and delivery of alcoholic liquors in their original unopened containers. Both motions failed to get support with the reduced liquor licenses not getting any support and the drive-thru motion failing 4-3 with Aldermen Jim Olive, Larry Budd, Steve Dorchinecz, and Kathy Driskell all voting no. Aldermen Megan Bryant was absent from the meeting.

 

Under Mayoral updates, Mayor Barry thanked the board for approving Ben Robinson to the Library Board and Ron McKavetz to the BDD Committee. 

 

 

Mayor Barry also says that he held a Mayoral meeting on Monday and it went well.

 

 

Rodney Davis was on hand to meet with both Mr. Brown and Mr. Smith.
