Montague County Commissioner’s Court handled a brief agenda of routine business during its final meeting of April on Monday.
The May 25 regular court meeting was moved to May 26 due to the Memorial Day holiday.
An engagement letter was accepted for Edgin, Parkman, Fleming and Fleming PC to conduct the 2025-26 outside audit. County Judge Kevin Benton noted in a letter the audit firm projects a reduction in the cost from $35,500 this past year to $34,250 for the next fiscal year.
Dr. Chance Dingler will continue to serve as the county health authority as the court approved his appointment.

TxDOT is hosting a virtual meeting to review projects included in the 2027-2030 Rural TIP.
The program is at 4 p.m. on May 6 and 11:59 p.m. on May 19, all online at https://bit.ly/4uhDwMG
The Rural TIP is a list of local projects to be funded during the next four years in the Wichita Falls District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
The counties included are Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young. Transportation projects cannot receive federal funding unless they are included in the Rural TIP. This includes projects for private vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, public transport, and commercial vehicles.
A section of Roach Street has been closed for the last few weeks as a new sewer line was installed replacing old clay tile line. It is phase two of multi-phase sewer line project across the city funded through a Texas Water Development Board loan of more than $9.7 million. The project will replace nearly10 miles of aging lines. (News photo by Barbara Green)
