Bowie City Council faces brief agenda Tuesday
Several items of new business fill the Bowie City Council agenda when it meets at 6 p.m. on Aug. 29.
Two items center around the authority to place radio or cell towers within the city limits. A resolution and ordinance for this topic is set for discussion.
City Secretary Sandy Page said these rules must be in place by Sept. 1 or any network provider can come into the city and place towers anywhere.
The resolution will amend the city code to add a design and construction standards manual related to the installation of network nodes, network support poles and other network infrastructure in the public rights-of-way.
Fire Chief Doug Page will ask to fill a vacant firefighter/paramedic position.
The council also will consider lifting a hiring freeze implemented at the Feb. 28 meeting.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
