The Nocona City Council once more heard from concerned Lake Nocona residents Monday night as they unveiled an updated slate of rules and regulations for the lake.
While the council made several changes to the rules following a meeting last Tuesday, after facing a crowd of about 90 Monday the panel approved the new ordinance.
City Secretary Revell Hardison said Tuesday there is still some work to do such as getting the docks numbered, but the lake committee had suggested an April 1 rollout for the rules. The first year also may be prorated.
The City of Nocona took possession of Lake Nocona on Dec. 31, 2019 as the North Montague County Water Supply District was dissolved. Along with the district, its rules, in place since it was created in 1960 were no longer applicable. Read the full story in the mid-week Bowie News.
