Montague County Commissioners will meet at 9 a.m. on Aug. 8 to consider a proposed tax rate and possibly wrap up its budget in a workshop.
At the Aug. 8 meeting the court approved a draft budget and posted it on the county website for public review, however, the budget still had several items that were unknown including several large expenditures using the COVID relief funds. That topic also is on Monday’s agenda.
The court will consider the rate, take a record vote and then set a public hearing. Kathy Phillips, county tax assessor/coll-

ector will present the certification of appraised values for 2022 along with the “no new revenue and voter approval tax rate” for 2022. View the budget proposal on the county website.
Commissioners will appoint members to the Montague County Historical Commission and present the 2021 Distinguished Service Award to its members.
The 2023 county holiday schedule will be reviewed, along with a proclamation naming September Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
