Lake Amon G. Carter closed
Due to Saturday’s rainfall that dropped almost three inches on the Bowie area, Lake Amon G. Carter has been closed to boat traffic once again.
City officials reported the closure Monday morning to The Bowie News. As of 9 a.m. on Monday the lake level was 923.33, and only 48 hours earlier it was at 921.67 mean sea level. The lake is full at 920 msl.
The lake had been closed on May 2 due to flooding after almost six inches of rain fell. It was reopened on May 16. With additional rainfall expected during the next few days it is unclear if the lake will reopen in time for the Memorial Day weekend traffic.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
