The Taylorville City Council met on Monday evening, recognizing June Adermann and hearing and discussing various ordinance issues and reviewing committee reports. All aldermen were present except for Steve Dennis, Chris Skultety, and Kathy Driskell. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry praised June Adermann and prayed for her. Adermann is a ten-year-old little girl who is legally blind. She is set to have an eye procedure—the first to have it done in the US.
June Adermann day is May 19th.
A motion concerning the authorization of a Master Sales Agreement with the Taylorville Development Association concerning the sale/purchase of Taylorville Industrial Park failed as it didn’t procure enough votes. The motion needed 5, and the vote was 4-2.
Other motions during the meeting that were approved included a motion to accept the proposal to furnish materials and approval of award from Louis Marsch for MFT Materials, a motion for a Special Events Permit for the Old Timers Boogie August 15-17th, and a motion to recommend approval of a water main replacement for 2024 S Main Street. A motion was also approved for a pay request for work on the SW Booster Pump House.
Under committee reports, all motions were approved. Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry announced that the ribbon cutting for the opening of the Bike Trail Bridge will be on Tuesday, May 27th, at 11 AM.
The city council then went into closed session briefly before ending the meeting. The next city council meeting is set for June 2nd.
