The Montague County Commissioner’s Court handled a variety of topics along with its outside audit and lifting the burn ban Monday.
A bid for a struck-off property at 11224 State Highway 59 was accepted from Cory and Melissa Six of Nocona. Two weeks ago five bids were received, but the two high bids of $5,000. The court asked for clarification on how to handle it when the bids are tied.
Tony Fidelie of Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott LLP attended the meeting explaining the court can by law give it to either of the bidders as long as it is not discriminatory; however, he contacted both bidders to ask if they wanted to resubmit a bid. The Six family did resubmit at $7,006, but Kevin Miller, Aubrey, did not want to rebid. The Six bid was accepted.
