The Urbana City Council gave its initial approval Monday to a $5,000 funding bump for Pygmalion 2018, in exchange for an added Urbana day of the festival’s activities.
Pygmalion is an annual festival centered around live music, food, technology, innovation, entrepreneurship and the arts. The increased sponsor funding, which the council unanimously agreed to and will be voted on once more, would be financed with tax increment financing dollars.
And about the long vacancy of the administrator:
In other business, Mayor Diane Marlin announced Monday that the city is in the final stages of picking a city administrator. Urbana has been without an administrator for 10 years since former mayor Laurel Prussing chose not to have one...
Marlin said video interviews with the job’s five finalists are being conducted this week. The list will then be narrowed down to three finalists, she said, who will come to town for in-person interviews later in March.
