Pekin City Manager

A contractor hired by the city of Pekin has delinquent property tax issues with the city. So, the city has launched an effort to ensure companies that bid for city work don't have similar issues.

A request by Tazewell County Resource Centers for a TIF commercial building improvement grant to help pay for renovations at its downtown Pekin building was barely approved Monday by the city council.

Whoever is chosen will have the task of filling vacant positions on the city staff that includes a finance director, an economic development director and a human resources director.

The agenda for Monday’s regular meeting shows the Pekin City Council will enter an executive session before considering resolutions to terminate a city employee and assign an “interim city manager.”
