The Taylorville City Council met on Tuesday evening. After approval of all minutes, the Planning Commission gave their update and encouraged the council to vote on the Stepp Minor Subdivision that will be near Hickory Court.  It was approved 7-0. The council approved the third amendment adding a retailers’ occupation tax, service occupation tax, and a hotel operators' occupation tax in the BDD No 1 Redevelopment area. 

An ordinance prohibiting feeding geese at Lake Taylorville passed 7-1 with only Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry voting no. There was some discussion over the motion for requiring 1,000 minimum square footage for residential dwellings with Chris Skultety looking for some clarification.
