Taylorville City Council met for their second January meeting Tuesday night. 

Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says that the Aldermen approved Committee Reports. Under Emergency Services, the City Council voted to allow the Fire Department to enroll in the First Net Program to alert citizens in an emergency. 

Mayor Barry says that the council took action on tax issues that allow the city to expand. 

The city approved the Solar Power Purchase Agreement with Renewable Energy Evolution to place solar power panels on the Fire Department roof. This is the same company that placed solar panels powering the water treatment plant. By the way, Mayor Barry says that project is coming along. 

Residents of the 600 to 800 blocks of East Vine Street and North Shawnee Street should rejoice when they hear the city is investing up to $9,500 to investigate drainage problems. 

The next city council meeting is February 6th. Mayor Barry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
