Members of the Montague County Commissioner’s Court will consider lifting the burn ban when they meet at 9 a.m. on Oct. 23.
The ban has been in effect since Aug. 7 and was only a few weeks from its 90-day expiration date. During the last summer months there was little rain creating extremely high fire conditions. Montague County residents experienced several large grass fires including one south of Bowie in the Fruitland Road/Highway 101 area that burned several hundred acres and many out buildings.
A jury selection plan for Montague County will be considered along with approving the 2023 tax totals.
Other topics on Monday’s agenda will include the bond for temporary Justice of the Peace Two John Swenson; appointment of a member to the Montague County Child Welfare Board; payment of several bills for repairs at the courthouse; accept the county attorney and sheriff’s chapter 59 asset forfeiture reports and review the preliminary plat of lots 1-10 in the W.R. Coley Survey in precinct two.
