Bowie Council member submits list of agenda requests
The Bowie City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on Jan. 14.
While the agenda appears brief, the final item could prove confrontational based on the last meeting. Councilor Tami Buckmaster has submitted to the city secretary a list of items she wanted placed on the Jan. 14 agenda.
Instead of placing each discussion as an agenda item, Mayor Gaylynn Burris listed on the agenda: “Request by motion for subsequent agenda items,” where a councilor may raise a motion to have requested topics put on a future agenda.
During the last meeting in December Buckmaster, expressed her discontent the mayor’s refusal to place her questions about internal controls on the agenda for discussion. The mayor said the city manager had already addressed the subject and met with the related staff about the controls, so the issue was handled.
The Bowie News made an open records’ request for the items Buckmaster has requested be placed on the agenda.
The Bowie City Council will meet on Jan. 14 not Jan. 16 as printed. We apologize for this error.

Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
