Connect Transit is seeking community input as the search for a new general manager begins. The Connect Transit Board believes it to be important for members of the Bloomington-Normal community to have the opportunity to provide input into this very important managerial recruitment process.
The Connect Transit Board is offering the opportunity to share some thoughts and ideas about this position in order to help both the Board and the recruiter to develop a complete and accurate understanding of the community’s expectations.
“The hiring of a General Manager is one of the most important decisions the Board will make. Therefore, all of us feel it is essential we hear from transit system stakeholders so we gain a clear understanding of the community’s expectations with respect to this important leadership position,” said Connect Transit Chairman Ryan Whitehouse.
The Normal Town Council met remotely Monday, Dec. 21, 2020.
The Normal Town Council voted overwhelmingly Monday night to waive next year’s liquor license fees for certain businesses negatively affected by Restore Illinois’ pandemic closures and restrictions.
Restaurants and bars, in particular, have suffered losses after bans on indoor dining.
But businesses that violate such pandemic restrictions in the upcoming year will be required to pay the license fee renewal.
The waiver OK d Monday complements federal and state relief, said council member Karyn Smith.
She said eliminating the liquor license fee for 2021 allowed Normal, “at the local level, to provide some specific relief to an industry sector that has been hard hit as we attempt to battle this pandemic,” said council member Karyn Smith.
