The Montague County Commissioner’s Court will meet at 9 a.m. June 22 in the courthouse annex to continue budget discussions, along with an executive session for personnel.
The court is scheduled to review a proposed 2020-21 county budget and conduct a budget workshop to begin hearing from county officials and their requests.
Commissioners also will look at the 2021 proposed budget for the Montague County Tax Appraisal District.
Erika Aguirre will make a presentation on the county retirement system.
Other topics for Monday include a COVID-19 operational update; renewal of bonds for four people in the tax office and county clerk’s offices; approve a Law Enforcement Support Office application packet for the sheriff’s office; authorize Sheriff Marshall Thomas to sign a memo of understanding with Patsy’s House Child Advocacy Group and open bids for base rock and oversize rock.
These county meetings are available for public access in a videoconference link on the county website: co.montague.tx.us.
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.
