Bourbon homeowner Rosemary Shearer at 207 West Sunset expressed her opinions on how the town has chosen which streets to repave and shared her disgust that her street has not been repaved since 1994 during Tuesday’s Town Council meeting.
Shearer said, “My street is narrow and cracked. My street is being ignored.” Street Department Superintendent Roger Terry , Council President P. J. Hanley, and Attorney Wagner all explained that the streets being repaved were chosen by engineers doing surveys since the cost is being paid by the Community Crossroads Grant. Shearer did receive the assurance of the Council that her request would be considered at some point.
Shearer did qualify for the town’s 50/50 sidewalk program. It was noted that the sidewalk at her property needs to be leveled at a total cost of $1,092 and the town would pay half of that amount.
In other business Bourbon Town Clerk/Treasurer Kim Berger said a copy of the town’s proposed 2020 budget can be viewed at the Clerk/Treasurers office. According to Berger, the budget is some $24,000 less than the 2019 budget.
The Bourbon Town Council also set the town’s Trick or Treat night for October 31 from 5:00 P.M. – 7:00 P.M.
