Taylorville City Council Meets Monday Evening

The Taylorville City Council met this evening. The council recognized the Kids R Kids Bobcats Basketball team.  After approval of the minutes, the Council approved hiring a replacement laborer and replacement part-time dispatcher, approved the Red Bland Little League parade, and approved the special events permit for the Taylorville High School graduation. 

 

Under emergency services, the Council approved looking at the budgets for the fire and police departments, allowed the Lake and Cemetery Departments to hire one additional employee, and approved a motion to suspend the dress code policy until July 1st, in order to give the Union and the Committee time to bargain a new dress code policy that is agreed upon. The motion passed 7-0 with everyone voting yes, except Kathy Driskell who voted “present.” Under Water/Environmental the council approved the IEPA Lab Fee, the purchasing of two desktop computers, and the water budget.

 

The council also approved a request for the annual William Walter Catch a Fish Day on Saturday, May 13th.  Due to some technical issues, there is no audio present for the meeting, but Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry wanted to inform the public of the upcoming cleanup day this weekend, thanked Tommy TV for their outstanding awards show, and thanked the state of Illinois for the grant to fix the Pana Taylorville Bridge. 

 

The next City Council meeting is set for May 1st.
