Members of the Bowie City Council will meet at 6 p.m. on Oct. 14 and will take steps to revitalize the Bowie Water Supply Board and consider a mountain bike trail at Selma Park.
In new business items the council will consider reappointing Steve Gilland and Randy West, and appointing Wayne Bell, Don Marlow and Ben Robbins to the Bowie Water Supply Board.
City Manager Bert Cunningham said the board is being restarted as the city handles some legal issues related to the purchase of land for the Amon Carter Lake extension, following advice from its legal council.
The water supply board was set up back then to coordinate that lake extension development and remained in place until the bonds were paid off.
Also in new business the parks board will submit its recommendation to develop a mountain bike trail at Selma Park.
Other new topics include Public Works Director Stony Lowrance will request $4,600 out of the infrastructure fund to pay for 26 meters; ordinance amending the 2023-24 budget and resolution for signatories for the Community Block Development Grant- Mitigation Resilient Communities Program.
In the city manager’s monthly report he will update the Nelson Street drainage project, substation transformer, raw water pump, downtown revitalization grant, outside audit and placement of the new Trail Boss statue at Pelham.
