Jacksonville council approves consent agenda: TIF plan for IOOF building, equipment purchases and hazard mitigation plan adopted
Summary
The City Council approved a consent agenda that included a TIF redevelopment plan and grant agreement for the IOOF (Odd Fellows) building at 312 East State, procurement approvals for a Bobcat skid steer and three golf carts, and adoption of the 2025 Morgan County multijurisdictional hazard mitigation plan.
The Jacksonville City Council approved a consent agenda on May 20 that included several procurement resolutions, a tax‑increment financing redevelopment plan for the IOOF (Odd Fellows) building at 312 East State, and adoption of the 2025 Morgan County multijurisdictional natural hazard mitigation plan.
Parks and Lakes (the Parks and Lakes alderman) presented a resolution authorizing a waiver of advertisement for bids and accepting a proposal to purchase three golf carts for the municipal golf course. Planning and Public Works (Alderman Lockman) presented two items: a resolution approving a tax increment financing redevelopment plan and a project grant agreement for the IOOF/Odd Fellows building at 312 East State, and a resolution authorizing waiver of advertisement for bids and accepting a proposal from Bobcat of Springfield for a Bobcat skid steer for the Jacksonville maintenance department. Public Protection (Alderman Speed) presented a resolution to adopt the 2025 Morgan County multijurisdictional natural hazard mitigation plan.
The mayor asked if any consent items should be pulled; seeing none, the clerk conducted a roll call. Council members present responded in the affirmative; the mayor announced the motion carried. The roll call as recorded in the transcript shows affirmative responses for the members present (affirmative responses were recorded for Keith, Henry, Lockman, Oldenetal, Pollock, Reuben DeSellis, Sorrell, Speed and Thomas). The clerk’s roll call in the transcript corresponds to an affirmative council vote to adopt the consent agenda.
Why it matters: The TIF redevelopment plan and related grant agreement could facilitate renovation or redevelopment of the IOOF/Odd Fellows property at 312 East State; the equipment purchases authorize municipal departments to proceed with procurement without additional advertisement. Adoption of the hazard mitigation plan moves Morgan County and participating jurisdictions into an updated multi‑jurisdictional strategy for natural hazards.
What’s next: The consent items were approved by the council and will proceed to implementation; no further council action was recorded at this meeting on these items.
