Annual agreements fill county agenda for Monday
A public hearing on the naming of two private roads in precinct four will take place at 8:45 a.m. on July 26, prior to the 9 a.m. regular meeting of the Montague County Commissioner’s Court.
In the hearing two roads off of Farm-to-Market Road, 677 south of Saint Jo on the Ranches at Elm Fork Subdivision will be discussed. Official naming will occur in the regular meeting.
The regular court agenda is filled with numerous annual approvals. The 2022 interlocal agreement with the Helen Farabee Center will be examined, along with the re-appointment of Verner Hayhurst to the board of directors of the center.
The interlocal agreement with the Nortex Regional Planning Commission for 911 public safety answering point in the county is up for approval. A map endorsement agreement with Liberty Marketing is up for approval.
Improvements to the county poor farm fence will be discussed.
Precinct four will seek authority to enter the Glenna Clay property on Dixie School Road and the Linda Thompson property on Parker Road, both to clear a fence line.
The court will consider using the Justice of the Peace Technology Fund to purchase 50% of the sheriff’s office ticket writers.
A budget workshop concludes the regular agenda.
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.
