The first regular Saint Jo city council meeting with Brad Bugg running the show as mayor takes place June 10 at 6 p.m. at Saint Jo City Hall.

The hall is located at 220 E. Howell Street in Saint Jo.

This also will mark the first meeting with Bryan Wolf and Stephanie West serving on the council.

During the meeting, alderpersons will discuss the possible appointment of a new council member to fill a vacancy.

Currently, Saint Jo has three council members, and a pro tem in Tim West, and there’s been a vacancy for the past month.

In addition, there will be a public hearing concerning a possible replat at 109 N. Singletary Street.

The possible replat was brought up for discussion by Charles and Judy Taylor. The couple has requested to build a 30x50x16-foot shop on their property.

Other citizens have also brought up matters for discussion.

Carla Hennessey would like to continue discussions on water issues, which started during the May regular meeting.

Mary Katherine Goff is on the agenda to discuss her concerns about trash next to the city cemetery: Mountain Park Cemetery.

Linda and Jackie Bruton want to talk about the street condition on W. Williams.

The council will examine whether to approve the Montague County Tax Appraisal District 2016 proposed budget and the 2013-14 audit report from the Wichita Falls-based accounting firm of Freemon, Shapard & Story.

In a police department matter, there will be discussion on the monthly salary for a K-9 officer for off-duty care, management and training of the animal.

The council is expected to act on the use of water slides and blow-up bounce houses at Boggess Park.

City department leaders will issue reports, bills will be paid and the minutes will be approved from two meetings in May.
