Bowie Council faces brief agenda on Monday
The Bowie City Council will meet for a brief agenda of business at 6 p.m. on Sept. 14.
In new business, the final Bowie BMX Bike Park lease will be presented for council action. The city is leasing land beside the baseball complex with plans to create a race track.
An ordinance amending the 2019-2020 city budget will be presented.
In old business, the second reading of the ordinance levying the 2020 tax rate will be considered. The proposed tax rate is .5447 cents per $100 in property value, which is up only slightly from the present rate of .5445 cents.
Based on the tax for an average homestead the annual tax bill will see a four percent increase going from $562 in 2019 to $582 in 2020.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will make his monthly report updating the council on the city office renovation at the former community room and a gas line being abandoned at Lake Amon G. Carter.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
