Kathy Phillips, clerk in the Montague County Tax Assessor’s office, has been appointed to fill out the remaining term for Syd Nowell, when she retires on April 1.
Nowell has served as tax assessor since September 1999. She submitted her resignation to the commissioner’s court Monday as she plans to retire. It was not a surprise as Nowell told the court it was pending as they prepared the 2018-19 budget, which includes provisions to pay for a person to train for about a month before Nowell leaves.
Phillips, who resides in Bowie, has been a clerk in the tax offices for the past two years. Nowell recommended her for the job, along with the committee appointed by the court to consider a replacement. The elected job opens with the March 2020 party primary when a new nominee will be elected and then sent forward to the general election.

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.
