East Peoria City Council Approves New Three-Year Contract for Police Department, Including 12-Hour Shifts
The East Peoria City Council approved a resolution to accept a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Policemen's Benevolent Labor Committee (PBLC). The agreement runs from May 1, 2026, to April 30, 2029. It includes annual wage increases of 2.5% in the first year and 3% in the subsequent two years. A key feature of the agreement is the incorporation of 12-hour shifts, which the council and union found mutually beneficial over the past three years, leading to more officers on the street and improved work-life balance for officers.
East Peoria Fire Department to Acquire New Ambulance for $48,325

The cost of the ambulance, including a new stretcher and power lift, is $48,325. This is a budgeted and needed item for the fire department. The projected delivery time for the ambulance is 60 to 90 days, although a custom build would take 24 to 28 months.
East Peoria Acquires 272 Acres for Future Residential Development, Excluding Solar Farms and Data Centers
The East Peoria City Council accepted an ordinance on first reading for the purchase of real estate located between US Route 24 and Centennial Drive for future development. The property, known as the Kyle and Bllye land, comprises 272 acres. The city secured the land through an auction, putting down 10%, which amounted to $520,000, for a total purchase price of $5,250,000 before closing costs. The council emphasized that the land was acquired to control future development and ensure it aligns with the city's comprehensive plan, specifically aiming for residential growth and precluding possibilities like data centers or solar farms. This move is seen as strategic for the city's future growth, particularly given limited opportunities for residential expansion.
