The council will consider renewing the raw water purchase contract with the North Montague County Water Supply District.

The first is a request to grant $1,500 to Peterson Photography to assist with marketing for a photography and moving image summer camp. The second is a request to finance an intern from the Texas Department of Agriculture, not to exceed $2,500 per intern.
Discussion on bids to mow and weed eat the Nocona Cemetery for 2016 will pick up from the March meeting.
Revell Hardison, city secretary, explained there was quite a price range difference in the bids and included some from a couple of new people. The council tabled the bids until this month in order to have time to gather recommendations.
Other items on the agenda include:
- A request from Chamber Director Randy Duckworth to place a building on city property at 305 E. Willow for stoage of barricades.
- Conduct an annual review and consider amending public funds investment policy with 2015 legislative changes.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
