It was a quick, 19-minute Taylorville City Council meeting Tuesday night but a lot getting done.

Mayor Bruce Barry presented the Taylorville High School Bowling Team the "Youth of the Month" honor.  The team recently won the 2023 Danville Sectional Tournament.

Ordinance amendments passed included not charging a winter storage rental fee for boat docks, lake lot or campsite lease, removing the "No Parking" restriction on the south side of the 200 block of West Esther, and business redevelopment agreement with The Vintage Dresser, LLC, Rachael and Justin Griffin.  An ordinance amendment hiking the city's annual video gaming terminal permit fee to 250-dollars passed with alderman Jeremy Wilson being the only "no" vote.

The Taylorville Council Tuesday night OK'd a conditional closure permit allowing the city's new solar project at the water treatment plant, to be interconnected to the Ameren grid system, and learned the Fire Department's solar project had begun.  The city is also investigating installing solar panels at City Hall.

Among his mayoral comments, Bruce Barry complimented Cindy Frisina and Kathy Fergin for organizating the recent Marti Gras event at the Christian County Courthouse on February 18th to showcase fine arts in the county.

Tuesday night's Taylorville City Council meeting was held a day late due to President's Day on Monday.
