The Howardwick Board of Aldermen denied a request to re-zone a section of the city to allow the sale of beer and wine for off-premises consumption last week.
Jerry Daniels had requested the change for his property in the Navajo Section, and citizens had previously spoken both for and against the proposal at a prior meeting.
Mayor Pro-tem Marvin Elam told the board that the city had been advised it was entirely up to the aldermen to decide the matter.
Alderman Sam Grider moved, seconded by Alderman Bill Barton, not to change the zoning. The motion passed unanimously.
In other business, aldermen approved a bid on tax delinquent property in the Nocona Hills section as presented by the Donley Appraisal District.
Greta Byars spoke concerning the work needed on the Community Building. Aldermen approved the Beautification Club to do the work.
