Shannon Skiles resigns from Bowie Community Development (Main Street Bowie)

Shannon Skiles, Main Street Bowie manager for the past eight years, submitted her resignation to the City of Bowie this week effective May 10.
Skiles and her fiancé will be moving to Amarillo in mid-May.
The West Virginia native moved to Bowie, where her mother had relocated, and began working at Main Street in September 2009 as assistant to Manager Susan Campbell. She became the manager in August 2010.
“I have greatly enjoyed my time in Bowie working with industrious merchants and passionate citizens to build a strong and revitalized downtown district,” said Skiles.

Bowie City Manager’s report for Feb. 25

This is the Bowie city manager’s report for Feb. 25.
The week of March 13 will be a busy week. We have two bid openings for March 13.
The first one is for phase two of the sewer line project. This will cover new sewer lines for the following streets: Coffield, Strong, Roach, Hudspeth and the alley behind Hulme. We still have not gotten an easement for the Glen Hills lift station from the property owners, but the city attorney is working with the owners to finally get that.
The second bid opening is for the Downtown Revitalization project for a section of Smythe Street. The plans were finally approved and it was put out for bid.
Work at the substation transformer project has come to a halt. We kept having the same problems of getting the necessary components, so Electric Department Head Jay Evans sent the contractor home until all the necessary equipment was in place, and then it would be completed, which would take about a month or two, depending on when the contractor and transformer crew could come back.
Luckily, we have had very few problems with the extremely cold weather. Most of the crews are staying in and cleaning up their respective shops. The guys are looking forward to spring.

On Tuesday, Mike Tibbetts of Hayter Engineering offered his recommendation to pay MX Construction.
