Commissioners meet on June 27
Montague County Commissioners will continue with budget workshops when they meet at 9 a.m. on June 27.
Elected officials are asked to present their budget proposals to the court for consideration as work on the budget continues.
An executive session is slated to discuss the duties, evaluation and employment of the veteran’s service officer. Any action would take place back in open session.
The Montague County Tax Appraisal District will submit its budget for consideration for fiscal 2022-23.
Other topics for Monday’s meeting will be: Consider the sheriff’s office accepting a pair of unanticipated revenue items, one for $500 from Chris Petty Enterprises to be put in machinery and equipment and one for $2,900 to purchase a Daisy inflatable BB gun range to use as a community outreach program to teach gun safety.
The court will pay an invoice from Trinity Air Conditioning for $39,900 for repairing an air conditioner/air exchanger at the jail. Previous direction was to use the federal COVID relief funds for this project.
Bids for gravel, base rock and oversize rock will be opened. A request for precinct one to park vehicles in the precinct two yard will be offered.
The consent agenda with minutes, bills, payroll and monthly reports rounds out the 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.
