Commissioners to wrap up November
Members of the Montague County Commissioner’s Court will meet at 9 a.m. on Nov. 22 for the final session of the month.
The request by the sheriff’s office to create a communications corporal position will return to the agenda. Earlier this month Chief Deputy Jack Lawson made the request noting it was overlooked and not included in the recent budget preparations. The position has more training and duties, which also provides a higher salary. The court denied the request to provide additional pay noting it should have been done during the budget.
A trio of precinct requests will be discussed: Precinct one wants to purchase two maintainers, precinct three wants to enter the Matt Hackley property on Hinton Road to clear drainage and also enter the David Paine property on Long Branch Road to clear a fence line.
The court will examine a quote for duct and venting work in the medical cells of the county jail; approve the bond for the county treasurer and approve the monthly consent agenda.
The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.

Voters in Bowie and Forestburg Independent School Districts will have their say Saturday as both entities offer up bond issues to improve infrastructure.
Early voting came to an end on Tuesday with a total of 1,230 people casting their ballots.
On election day the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: Bowie Senior Citizens Center, Forestburg ISD Library and Sunset City Hall. Voters can cast their ballots at any of these locations due to countywide voting.
