Members of the Bowie City Council this week updated the emergency operations plan to bring it up to date with state and federal requirements.
The council also adopted the first reading of the budget and tax rate for fiscal 2021 during its Monday night deliberations.
Kirk Higgins, recently named to a part-time position as emergency management director, presented the plan.
Listed in two parts, one was eliminated and the other one updated with new requirements from the Texas Department of Emergency Management and Federal Emergency Management Agency incorporated into it. Portions of the previous plan dated back to 1983.
Higgins has been active in emergency operations for many years through the Montague County Emergency Communications Team which has assisted the city during emergencies.

Nocona City Council approves NEDC requests

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.
