Nocona City Council hammers out new facility rules
Members of the Nocona City Council continue to hammer out the potential rules and regulations for the new Justin Building community center.
The council met Tuesday night and began reviewing samples. City Secretary Revell Hardison said there was general consensus they would like to use the facility to promote Nocona using it for things like festivals and chamber events.
A sample of fees discussed, but not approved was a $500 deposit, $350 cleaning fee and a $150 rental fee. The deposit would be returned if all the conditions are met.
Some of the first activities to take place in the facility will be vendors during the Mardi Gras Nocona-Style later this week and the upcoming high school prom.
Hardison said there was some discussion on the naming of the building possibly as the H.J. Justin Community Center, which would recognize the original occupant of the property who founded and created the leather and boot company. No decision was made.

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.
