Bowie City Council to discuss technology center at NCTC-Bowie
The Bowie City Council will meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 15 to discuss the possible construction of a technology center at the North Central Texas College campus in Bowie.
An executive session is planned for “economic development negotiations” through the 4B economic development sales tax. The agenda item states discussion of the center project including design, contract addendum and project expenditures.
The 4B Sales Tax Corporation has been discussing this project during the past year and has proposed a slightly smaller building than the one completed earlier this year on the Gainesville campus.
The only other items on the regular agenda are the consent items of minutes and reports.
In new business the council will receive the resignation of Norman Vaughan in precinct two south ward. Vaughan was named to the council on Aug. 2.
During the workshop department reports will be presented.
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.
