Summary
The Normal Town Council used omnibus vote procedures June 16 to approve minutes, expenditures, a planning-services agreement with the McLean County Regional Planning Commission, a contract to Play Illinois for West Anderson Park equipment ($102,918.10) and an ordinance establishing industrial pretreatment sewer regulations.
The Normal Town Council approved multiple routine and project-specific items on June 16 by omnibus vote and separate roll calls.
