The town of North Judson cannot finalize a grant application
for water system improvements until they get enough completed income surveys
from local residents. Town officials are applying for funds to rehabilitate the
two water towers. First the town has to meet the income threshold outlined in
the grant criteria.
Clerk-Treasurer Donna Henry says the Kankakee-Iroquois
Regional Planning Commission mailed income surveys to residents, but not enough
have been returned to proceed. Town utility workers are following up with
in-person visits to the homes that have not returned the surveys. Henry tells
WKVI News 110 surveys were sent in, and 25 more have been collected through
site visits. She says the town needs 337 in order to proceed with the grant.
Henry adds residents who got surveys in the mail should expect a visit soon.
The North Judson Town Council on Monday also approved the
procurement of a credit card for the superintendent to use when making
purchases at stores where the town does not have a charge account. Currently he
has to pay for purchases out of pocket and submit receipts for reimbursement.
