A motion to approve the Class O Gaming Liquor License for Kroger was withdrawn in a short City Council Meeting Monday evening. There was no discussion on the motion. All Aldermen were present except for Chris Skultety who was on zoom and Larry Budd who was absent. 

All ordinances involving the BDD agreement were approved. Two resolutions involving real estate leases; one with Rick and Lisa Champley and Jake Heberling, failed because it needed ¾ of the Aldermen to vote yes. The motion failed 5-3 with Aldermen Doug Brown, Jim Olive, Megan Bryant, and Jeremy Wilson voting yes and Aldermen Skultety,  Kathy Driskell, and Steve Dorchinecz voting no. 

Motions to approve promotions for Water Office Employees Jaclyn McConnell and Jennifer Mayer were both approved. Motions were also approved for St. Mary’s Church Fiesta, Kiwanis Kids Day, and Chillifest days to take place. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry thanked everyone for their support during his recent surgery.

Jim Olive brought up public facilities during committee reports looking for a recommendation to approve the purchase of a storage shed.

The motion passed. The next City Council meeting is set for August 21st.
