Incumbents fill Nocona ballots, city council only May race
As election filing came to an end on Feb. 15 only the City of Nocona will have an election on May 4, as the other two entities had all their incumbents file with no new names.
The City of Nocona, Nocona Independent School District and Nocona Hospital District are the only governmental entities in the county that have elections in May. The remainder of the other entities moved their elections to November in conjunction with the county.
However with the approval of the Tier 2 petition last Friday, the county will add an election for that issue on the May 4 ballot.
On the Nocona City Council Robert Fenoglio will run unopposed for mayor. There are two places open on the council with incumbents Tom Horn and Don Davis filing for re-election, along with Robert Dwayne Fuller.
City Secretary Revel Hardison said Ricky Roberts filed for the council race, but his petition was rejected when his voter registration verified he lives outside the city limits.
For the NISD board, place three filled by Greg Fuller and place four filled by Pat Keck will be on the ballot. Both incumbents have filed and the district is expected to cancel its election.
The hospital district also will cancel its election as all four incumbents filed for the four places on the board: Melissa Murphey, Chris Keck, Ken Koontz and Charlie Brown.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
The big item on the agenda is the review of superintendent candidate applications and consider possible interview choice. Superintendent Blake Enlow resigned on May 23 and Assistant Superintendent Lee Ann Farris has been serving as the interim.
That item will be in executive session along with professional educator contracts that need to be considered.
On the regular agenda Farris will update the board on education bills passed by the 89th Texas Legislature and their budget impacts, as well as discipline impacts. A budget workshop will be considered. She also will provide information on state assessment and board goals.
Campus administrators and directors will provide updates, along with the finance director.
In action items the board will review Texas Association of School Board update 124, consider changes to the 12-month and 11 employee dates and consider the purchase of a new band trailer not to exceed $80,000.
Due to the June 19 Juneteenth federal holiday the U.S. Post Office will be closed, which moves then Thursday Bowie News to a delivery date on Friday. It will be available in the stores at its regular time.
