Commissioners to reconsider wastewater plant process
Montague County Commissioners will discuss how to move forward with plans to build a new wastewater treatment plant after no bids were received at the last court session.
The court will meet at 9 a.m. on Sept. 9.
When no bids arrived, Commissioner Mike Mayfield, who has been coordinating this project, said he would be talking to the engineers about how to move forward. The agenda states the county will consider going out for bids on various phases of the plant.
The court will discuss the distribution of unclaimed property capital credits funds from the state.
The 2024-25 county clerk records management and archive yearly plan will be offered.
Other topics on Monday’s agenda include the notice of election for Nov. 5; credit application and agreement with Norton Metals; consider commissioners having the option to use their own vehicle and be paid a stipend; precinct one request to clear a fence row and adjust drainage on North Johnson Loop and precinct two request to enter property on Alamo Road to clear a fence line. Both requested properties are owned by John Love.
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.
