Commissioner’s Court meets on Monday
Montague County Commissioners will wrap up November’s business when the court meets at 9 a.m. on Nov. 27.
Could the courthouse soon have some Christmas decorations? The commissioners will discuss the possibility.
It has been many years since the courthouse was lighted and had some of the traditional lawn decorations, which were purchased and provided by local citizens and donations.
The county will consider establishing a courthouse security committee.
A joint resolution between the county and the county Republican and Democratic Parties will be offered which will allow the parties to conduct the March primary elections at the same locations as the county voting precincts.
Other items on Monday’s agenda will include: Presentation of an award from the Texas Association of Counties; precinct one will seek to transfer funds from full-time to part-time; a road crossing request from HL Custom Homes on Silver Lakes Drive in precinct two w;ill be reviewed and the court will consider approving the Texas Association of Counties liability renewal.
The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
