Nocona City Council calls election
It was a brief meeting on Tuesday night for the Nocona City Council as it set the May election and approved economic development funds.
The first item passed was a request from the Nocona Economic Development to expend funds for $39,000 for a zero-interest, seven and a half year loan to the Fenoglio Boot Company.
The loan is for an additional embroidery machine to keep up with the demand of orders coming in.
The council was informed the company also has added 14 new employees since opening its doors to keep up with orders, bringing the total number of employees from 50 to 64.
The council voted to call the election set for May. The election is for the three open seats for Nocona City Council, presently filled by Tracy O’Neal, Bob Ferguson and Steve Tettleton.
Deadline to file for the election is Feb. 19.
Next Nocona City Council meeting is set for March 8.
The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
