Commissioners to meet on Monday
Members of the Montague County Commissioner’s Court will meet at 9 a.m. on Oct. 22 in regular session.
Officials from the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District will inform the court of tentative scheduling for public hearings on the proposed permanent rules that will be implemented in the new year. The district oversees groundwater use across Montague, Wise, Hood and Parker Counties.
A proclamation will be considered naming Oct. 22 as day honoring Purple Heart Medal recipients in the county. See a related story on the webpage for more details.
The resolution for the 2019 Indigent Defense Grant program will be reviewed and the court will move its Nov. 12 meeting due to the Veteran’s Day holiday.
Other topics will include a request from precinct three to enter the David Rutledge property on Hinton Road to repair a drainage issue; accept unanticipated revenue from the sale of scrap iron; budget adjustment to part-time in the county judge’s office and a special funds budget transfer from contingency.
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.
