December 12, 2024 at 10:29 p.m.
BURKET – Burket Town Council will have to reapprove its 2025 budget due to some missing items when it was submitted.
Council President Bill Rayburn said the council was notified 10 days ago several pages in the budget had missing information and needed to be fixed. The town was given 10 days to respond back to the state if they were going to fix the issues and be resubmitted. Rayburn said the budget is being worked on to get resubmitted.
Additional training was offered to Clerk-Treasurer Katina Webb to help in future budgets.
The council will reapprove the budget at 6 p.m. Monday.
In other business, the council:
• Heard Rayburn checked out a property on Main Street after the council heard complaints about it.
Rayburn said the building is in poor repair and unsightly. There is also no power to the building. Rayburn didn’t think the building was an immediate danger to the community.
The council agreed to send a letter to the property owner to clean up the property.
• Heard the railroad crossing at Walnut Street has not been finished.
Rayburn said he didn’t think it would be fixed this year.
• Heard the town received an asset inventory plan, which is part of the process in road inventory for the town. The town still needs to submit its road inventory to Purdue University to get it approved so the town can apply for more Community Crossings Grants to fix roads in town.
