Summary
At its March 17 meeting, the Normal Town Council approved a set of omnibus consent items and general orders including water main and vehicle purchases, preliminary and final plats for Pine Street commercial subdivision, rezoning at 404 Normal Avenue, publication of the zoning map, and multiple board and commission reappointments.
The Normal Town Council on March 17 adopted several consent and general-order items in a single omnibus vote and approved multiple separate votes on subdivision, zoning and procurement matters.
Items approved under the omnibus motion included: acceptance of the town expenditures report as of March 12, 2025; award of the Delane Drive and Hale Street water main improvement project to Stark Excavating Inc. at a total cost of $928,600; purchase award for a truck-mounted hydraulic valve operator to Koning Body & Equipment at $53,113 (with associated budget adjustments); purchase of five 2025 Ford F-350 trucks from Bob Ridings Fleet Sales for $278,005; purchase and installation of a dump bed for an F-350 from Konig Body and Equipment Inc. for $42,564; and authorization of an agreement with Craig Onsrud to operate the Ironwood Golf Pro Shop and provide private golf lessons. The council also approved an ordinance accepting an early termination settlement with CMN-RUS MetroNet for the franchise agreement and conditionally approved the Grove Street subdivision final plat at 205 North Grove Street through an expedited process.
After omnibus approvals, the council voted on general orders and ordinances: it approved a preliminary subdivision plan and then a conditional final plat for the Pine Street commercial subdivision at 751 Pine Street; it approved an ordinance rezoning property at 404 Normal Avenue; and it authorized publication of the zoning map. Council also approved multiple reappointments to boards and commissions — including appointments to Connect Transit (Bloomington-Normal Transit Authority), the Convention & Visitor Bureau, Planning Commission, and Zoning Board of Appeals — with specific term expiration dates listed in the meeting record.
Each item was adopted by roll-call votes recorded in the transcript (Aye votes recorded for members present).
