The Bowie City Council received a strong audit for fiscal 2022-23 at this week’s council meeting, along with updates on various projects.
Valerie Halverson of Mathis, West Huffines Group presented the outside audit report at this week’s council session finding no issues during the process. She said all the general accounting principals had been met and the audit went well with the city’s finance team.
The accountant went through the balance sheets and explanatory statements in the report. The city’s total revenues were $19,870,226. Some 75% of city revenue comes from charges for services. Sales, property and franchise taxes make up 7%, 11% and 3% of the total revenues. Grants and contributions and other minor categories make up the remaining 4%.

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.
