Commissioners to meet Monday
Montague County Commissioners will meet in regular session at 9 a.m. May 11 in the courthouse annex.
This meeting will be broadcast on a video link located on the county webpage.
During the regular meeting an executive session is scheduled for personnel matters.
Back in open session the court will consider participating in the county transportation infrastructure fund grant program. This is a second round of grant funding from the state for road repairs related to energy production with $250 million budgeted.
Montague County may receive $365,179 in the 80-20 match with state funds. Back in 2014 the county received a little more than $2.6 million among the precinct. Counties have one month, April 27-May 27 in which to apply. If all counties don’t participate Montague County’s allocation could increase.
Other topics for Monday include a finance contract in precinct three for the purchase of two motorgraders; replat of six lots in Top O’The Lake, Rolling Oaks Estates; budget adjustments related to antivirus licenses and gravel to part-time in precinct four; mitigation plan and COVID-19 operational updates.
The cast and crew of “A Family Reunion to Die For,” has been busy rehearsing for their murder mystery dinner theater production on May 30 and May 31.
The reunion soon turns sour with murder at a western-style bed and breakfast in the tropics.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
