The Taylorville City Council met Monday evening to discuss awarding the bid for the West Franklin Street Project and approval of a purchase of a sewer camera, to be able to see when lines broke. Everyone was present for the meeting except Aldermen Larry Budd and Chris Skultety. The board approved unanimously the West Franklin Street Project. Alderman Jeremy Wilson spoke about the project.

The board needed ¾ majority to pass the motion for a new camera.  All Aldermen voted yes except Steve Dorchinecz. 

Since 6 votes were needed for a ¾ majority, and the board was only able to procure 5, the motion failed. The motion will be once again brought up at the next City Council Meeting set to take place on October 4th. 

The Taylorville Park Board also met on Monday evening. The board approved bonds for the district including restructuring.  The board also approved the execution of an Escrow Agreement in connection with those bonds. Work also continues with a new disc golf course at Manners Park. The board also heard from Bailey Hancock who announced that planning for Christmas in the Park has begun. The next board meeting is set for October 25th.
