Commissioners to consider co. treasurer personnel
The Montague County Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. on Jan. 13 for a regular agenda that includes a discussion of personnel in the county treasurer’s office.
The treasurer’s office has been in flux since Dec. 26 when LaVonda Langford resigned and the court named Jennifer Fenoglio, former deputy county treasurer, to fill the treasurer’s job until the November 2020 election. Last November, Fenoglio was named the newly created human resource officer. The court directed those jobs be combined temporarily.
Commissioners will consider annual topics of going out for sealed bids for fuel (unleaded gas and off-road diesel), and for rock hauling by the hour or ton. Bonds for the county treasurer, deputy county treasurer and constable precinct two will be presented.
Other topics include: Monthly reports from the veteran’s service and sheriff’s office; mitigation plan update; accept a $10,000 donation to the sheriff’s office from the Steven and Mary Birch Foundation; accepted unanticipated revenue of $300 to the sheriff’s office from the Texas State University for the tobacco enforcement program; consider map endorsement agreement with Liberty Marketing; and replat for two lots in phase three Silver Lakes Ranch.
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.
