Nixon-Smiley

At the regularly scheduled January council meeting, Nixon members started the meeting by tabling any decision-making on city recycling, being told their annual audit report had not been finished on time, and suspending the implementation of a proposed rate increase by Texas Gas Service for 90 days.

The Nixon city council was informed at its regular monthly meeting this week that a meeting Wednesday afternoon will bring about the completion of grant stipulations required by the state of Texas from Lazarus, the previous owner of the oil refinery.

On Monday, Nov. 21, the city of Nixon hired patrolman Mike Villarreal of the Nixon Police Department as its code compliance officer. And he’s quickly earning a reputation for refuting the argument that “Things never change in Nixon.”
