During the study session, no Council members offered any comments or concerns with the budget. The ordinance will be brought forth to the Council on June 3 for approval.

The Council also approved the Landfill Reuse Park Plan, a plan to create the 90-acre former landfill on the north side of Route 150 between the city of Champaign and the village of Mahomet into a park, complete with a Frisbee golf course, a dog park and a BMX bike path. The project will be underway and will continue for the next several years.
Champaign City Council meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the City Building.
