NISD early voting to begin
Early voting will begin on April 24 in the May 6 Nocona Independent School District election and continue through May 2.
Ballots may be cast early and also on election day in Nocona City Hall, 100 Cooke Street. Early voting will be 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. during seven days.
NISD is the only May election occurring in Montague County. The City of Nocona and Nocona Hospital District had no contested races and cancelled their elections.
The Nocona entities also are the only ones that have not moved their elections to November.
The school district has two places open on the ballot. Position five has J.W. Patterson and Donald Cheshier running. Trustee Len Dingler did not run for re-election.
Position seven has incumbent Trustee Brad Breeze challenged by Jay Womack.
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.
