The Taylorville City Council is set to meet this evening at 7 PM at the Municipal Building. There are several motions up for bid, including curb, guttering & sidewalk, concrete, gasoline & diesel fuel, and turnout gear for the fire department. The council will also look at a bid for the Deputy Treasurer Position that will be vacant on May 5th and a motion that will be discussed on the Hathaway Homes. This motion has been sent back and forth several times to try to figure out ways to finalize it.
Under committee reports, the council will look at a ten day notice for Russell Construction and Hathaway Homes to sign an agreement, requiring Massage Parlors and Chiropractic Clinics to obtain a license from the city of Taylorville at a cost of $10 per year, approve tobacco sales for Vape Club at 119 West Park Street, and revisions to the Storm Sewer Ordinance.
The council will also look at finance committee motions, including approving the CEO High School Program Donation of $1,000. The council will also potentially approve paying $22,000 to the Chamber so they can conduct 4th of July Fireworks and $15,000 for Chillifest. This money will be taken out of BDD funds. The council will potentially approve a Columbarium and upgrade the city's internet speed to $300 a month from CTI.
The Street and Sewer Committee is considering a special events permit for Taylorville Main Street, labor for the sewer main installation on Vandeveer, and bidding on the Madison Franklin Sewer improvements and Madison/Main Cross Sewer improvements. Stay tuned for mayoral updates from Bruce Barry and City Attorney news.
