There will be the potential of the approval and authorization of an annexation agreement, annexing certain territory to the City of Taylorville.

A motion to amend the bill amounts approved in the March 16th, 2026 meeting, considering the corrected amount to be approved is now $524,657.66 will also be made. The amendment comes into play due to an amount of $179,654.46 in bank drafts not being listed on the originally approved total.
