POINT BLANK — The Point Blank City Council approved its 2023-24 budget at its regular meeting on Sept. 11.

Mayor Mark Wood said the city has a balanced budget, with revenues and expenditures at $680,000, which includes grant revenues, and the cost of an election, which is scheduled for 2024.

The funds for roadwork dropped about $15,000, he said.

In a separate matter, Council member Gary Wulf, who was censured in June regarding a matter with the Point Blank VFD, sought to have the censure removed, stating the censure was detrimental for his participation in the area’s EMT program.
