The council, along with town attorney Justin Alter, are looking over a rough draft of an ordinance regulating golf carts in the Town of Burlington.

Council president Stan Moore said at last week’s meeting that it is the council’s intent that the final ordinance be passed at the next meeting. After the ordinance is approved it will have to be advertised before it becomes law.

“We want to try to get this done so they can ride their golf carts when it’s nice weather,” said Moore.

The town has agreed to partner with the Community Club and township trustee to share initial startup costs for a town Web site. Total cost is estimated at $900. Steve Michael reported that the site should be online soon.

“The town’s Correct Count Committee for the U.S. Census has plans to go door-to-door to encourage residents to fill out their form,” said Moore. “We want to get a good count, it’s everything for the town.”

A Census representative has a help center available at the Burlington Community Library during regular library hours.

Burlington Forum representatives met recently and will have another newsletter out shortly.

Moore reported that plans to open the grocery are moving along and the new owners report that they have secured a full-time butcher and produce manager.

Council members met recently with representatives from the Kankakee-Iroquois Planning Commission to discuss available grants to pursue.
