City employee compensation and a budget update highlighted the Taylorville City Council’s second monthly meeting of February.  With President’s Day on Monday, the meeting took place on Tuesday night instead. 

Part of the meeting was spent discussing how pay increases would be decided regarding non-union employees.  Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry said the city would change the ordinance which stipulates how the decisions are evaluated and made.

Members of the city council passed a motion to update the city budget to include costs relating to construction on West Main Cross.

The council also approved funding for work at the airport.

During the meeting, the council recognized the Taylorville High School bowling team and the Emergency Response Team members who responded to the February 2 standoff that took place in the area of Illini Drive.

The next meeting of the Taylorville City Council is expected to take place on Monday, March 2.
