Bowie City Council votes to contract out its trade inspections, plan reviews
Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, the City of Bowie will begin contracting with Bureau Veritas to conduct its building plan reviews and the majority of its trade inspections.
The council approved the new contract at its Tuesday meeting. Councilor Tim Adams was the only no vote. Councilor Dana Hulstine was absent.
At this time, inspections are conducted by heads of the electric and water distribution departments, and the city code enforcement office staff. The fire department does fire code and fire sprinkler inspections, and would continue that under the new contract. Read the full story on these changes in your weekend News.
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.
