Montague County Commissioners meet Monday
Montague County Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. June 22 in the courthouse annex.
Several financial topics fill Monday’s agenda including a budget workshop. The court also will consider engaging an outside auditor for fiscal 2014-15 and review retirement contributions for 2016.
Sheriff Paul Cunningham will discuss a possible school resource officer partnership with Saint Jo School District. The sheriff touched on the proposal when he made his budget pitch last week, but commissioners had several questions and asked the sheriff to return with further information.
Montague County 4-H members will make a presentation on their activities this past year.
Isaac Garcia with the Texas Association of Counties will present the commissioner’s court with a safety award. A distinguished service certificate also will be presented to the Montague County Historical Commission.
The court will review the procurement of administrative services when making application for Federal Emergency Management Administration reimbursements for disaster declaration damage.
Montague County previously submitted damage reports of more than $7 million to the state for damage that occurred during the May storms. Additional damage reports will be made related to last week’s storms.
On Friday city officials reported the intersection at Rock and Pillar was closed due to a sinkhole in the street. This area has been experiencing major drainage problems for many years damaging culverts and the street asphalt and concrete, with a portion of the street collapsing earlier in the spring. Drivers should avoid this area.
The Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
