A bid of $14,159 was accepted for the camera system with funds coming from the coronavirus state and local fiscal recovery funds.

Two chamber of commerce requests to close downtown streets were approved. One resolution will close Farm-to-Market Road 103 on March 1 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Mardi Gras Nocona Style.
The second closed the same street from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 7 for Cruisin’ Nocona. Agreements also will be created with the Texas Department of Transportation for these two closures.
Three items were address by the council action as the building commission. Toni Blanton’s request to install a Graceland 2022 manufactured home at 600 E. Mesquite, tabled from last month, was denied.
City Secretary Revell Hardison said this was not a manufactured home but a structure akin to a storage shed with no walls or structure inside .
Last month the council asked for more plans on what they were going to do with the structure. The panel indicated what the owner wanted to do with the building now does not meet city building regulations.
Abdiel Puentes Lopez asked to install a new 2024 manufacture home at 508 Lamar, which was approved.
The first hearing on the status of a structure at 204 Dallas Street was conducted. The property was owned by the late Linda Marentes and Santos Marentes.
The fire marshal gave a report on the inspection and it was deemed substandard. The owner was given 90 days in which to tear it down.
