Commissioners to consider going out for ambulance service RFPs
Montague County Commissioners will consider going out for proposals for Emergency Management Services when it meets at 9 a.m. on March 27.
Commissioners accepted a letter from the City of Bowie during a March 13 meeting informing the court of its decision to discontinue ambulance service outside the city limits effective Oct. 1.
At that meeting, commissioners indicated they were interested in talking with Nocona General Hospital about providing the ambulance service. Hospital officials said they are gathering information and exploring their options.
The Great Nocona Area Economic Development Corporation and the Nocona Municipal Economic Development Corporation boards will request permission to conduct an economic development project.
NEDC Director James Yohe explained the corporation is considering awarding the new owners of a former dirt bike track with a 10-year loan in the amount of $15,000 to assist in their efforts of reopening the track.
“The track is outside the NEDC extra-territorial jurisdiction, but we consider the clientele will benefit Nocona retail sales. Therefore, we need the county commissioners to allow us to operate in their extra-territorial jurisdiction,” said Yohe.
Mark Neese, Marshall Thomas and Chris Keck will be considered as members for the Montague County Child Welfare Board and a proclamation declaring April 2017 as Child Abuse Prevention Month will be discussed.
Commissioners will consider the property renewal questionnaire requested by Texas Association of Counties Risk Management Pool.
Constable Ronnie Reynolds will present the racial profiling reports and Texas Windstream requests a road crossing on Cox Lane.
Other precinct items on the agenda include:
A request from Precinct Four Commissioner Bob Langford to obtain financing and purchase a brush cutter.
Precinct One Commissioner Roy Darden will ask to enter Mike Browning property on Forrester Road to turn trucks around.
Darden makes a second request for a budget adjustment from repair and maintenance to part-time payroll.
