Nocona City Council handles busy agenda
Members of the Nocona City Council addressed a variety of topics during this week’s meeting ranging from fuel and flooring bids to updates on the budget.
At Tuesday night’s session, City Secretary Revell Hardison said the council heard the budget preparations are “pretty wrapped up.” Anticipating strong certified values projected to increase by $14 million above last year, the staff anticipates no tax rate increase and is setting up the budget along those lines.
Some things being considered in the new year will include selling the present city office building as renovations are complete on the offices in the Justin Building, along with getting a fire truck, which has already been approved. A budget hearing will be set for sometime in August.
