Facilities committee to make recommendation to BISD Board
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Facility Committee will submit recommendations to the school trustees when they meet at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 5.
Following the defeat of the $65.8 million bond election last November, the committee was asked to review the needs s and see what could be changed or revised for a new bond proposal. Daniel Deweber, chairman, will speak.
Also expected to talk with the board is Lewis Wilks, district financial advisor and Tom Sage, bond council. If the district wants to have a May bond election for a new plan the election would have to be called by Feb. 16. The agenda includes an action item if the board wants to call a new vote.
Other items on Monday’s called meeting agenda include the oath of office to Nichole Maddox, named to fill the vacancy in place two after Debbie Leonard resigned in December.
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.
