Commissioner’s to consider new road
The Montague County Commissioner’s Court will consider opening and maintaining a new road in precinct four when it meets at 9 a.m. on Jan. 24.
A public hearing for that road opening will begin at 8:45 a.m. The proposed road is located off Farm-to-Market Road 677 between Cap’s Corner and Illinois Bend. It is three-tenths of a mile long in the area.
Commissioner Bob Langford said this is an old county road that has never been maintained at least during his tenure. It has two homes and the residents are having a hard time getting a 911 address, so this change would assist them. The court will consider the request during the regular agenda.
The order calling the March 1 party primary election will be presented, along with the annual sheriff’s office racial profiling report.
The court will open sealed bids for delivered fuel, unleaded and diesel, for one year and bids for rock hauling only by the hour or ton for one year.
Commissioners also will review accepting unanticipated revenue of $11,500 from EOG Resources for right-of-way bores in precincts one and two;
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.
