Montague County Commissioners met with a dozen 4-H youngsters Monday who told the court about their activities during the past year and thanked them for the support.
The youngsters told the court about their wins and their favorite activities, along with showing off their banners and prize ribbons. Melanie Stott and Justin Hansard, both AgriLife Extension agents for the county, help coordinate the county 4-H program that has 170 members, nine chartered clubs and 13 adult volunteers.
Opening in such a positive fashion, the court then moved into several financial items and property plats.
Chief Appraiser Kim Haralson presented the proposed Montague County Tax Appraisal District budget for both the district and the collections side. There is an overall 3.3% increase on the appraisal side. The county does not take part in the tax collections side.

On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
