The Town of Normal council approved a package of routine consent items at its Dec. 1 meeting, including a $168,800 contract for the Children's Discovery Museum flooring and authorization to proceed with environmental reviews tied to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 106 requirements.

Council members also approved an ordinance setting the time and place for a public hearing on the Uptown Tax Increment Finance redevelopment plan and passed a special-use permit allowing roof-mounted solar panels at the address listed in the agenda. A single roll call motion carried the omnibus package and the special-use permit after short procedural motions.

The consent list, read into the record by the presiding official, included minutes from the Nov. 17, 2025 council meeting and the Town of Normal expenditures for payment as of Nov. 26, 2025. The flooring contract was described in the agenda as an award to J. Spencer Construction LLC for $168,800. The environmental-review item referenced the Illinois State Historic Preservation Office and CDBG Section 106 reviews.

During the special-use permit discussion, a council member made the motion to approve and another seconded; the council subsequently approved the permit by roll call. The presiding official announced the items approved and the meeting proceeded to the next agenda matters.

The council did not schedule additional debate on these items during the meeting. Any future hearings related to the Uptown TIF redevelopment plan will be set at the time and place established by the ordinance the council approved.

Notes: The agenda lists the solar property as "12:09 South Avenue" in the transcript; the council approved the special-use permit as read into the record.
