The Bourbon Town Council has set a deadline of June 24 for the owner of a property at 803 N. Main Street, commonly known as the Phillips property, to enter into an agreement or the town attorney will proceed with a court date to resolve the matter of an unsafe property and past due payments owed to the town in the amount of $2,500 for storm water, mowing, and trash pickup fees. Both water and sewer lines have been capped due to non-payment several months ago.
The council voted to proceed with a proposed agreement that would write off the utility fees if the owner pays the taxes due and signs a quick deed by the end of the month.
Wagner said, “The 25th is a drop dead date.”
If the town assumes the property, demolition of the home would be the next action with the intent to sell the lot to recoup demolition costs.
