Robert Fenoglio has been serving the City of Nocona for the past 28 years, first as a councilman and for the last 18 years as mayor.
As the time came to file for the Nov. 4 elections, the longtime mayor decided it was time to get some “new blood” on the council as he left the field wide open without his filing.
“It doesn’t matter what it is, any organization goes to hell if you don’t get young blood in. I have seen it too many times, it’s time for young people to take over, it never hurts to have that,” said the mayor.
His last meeting will be Nov. 11 and the city has plans for a reception for the outgoing mayor from 4-7 p.m. on Nov. 6 in the H.J. Justin Community Room.
