News from Double Oak Town Hall — August 2022

Greetings from Town Hall,

As you may have noticed, the contractor has completed revisions to the Double Oak town logo on the elevated water storage tank at Simmons Road and FM 407. Everyone was surprised at the small, light blue initial rendition, and the Town is thankful that Cross Timbers Water Supply Corporation and the contractor stepped up to make it right!

Waketon Road Update

Due to ongoing shortages of concrete and drivers, the contractor requested and has been approved to work during alternate hours, including late night and early morning, as supplies and manpower become available. Paving will continue progressing easterly from Town Hall toward Chinn Chapel Road as resources allow. The contractor has been directed to place door hangars and communicate directly with residents in advance of these alternative hours.

Mayor Beougher Submits Resignation

In response to concerns expressed by some Town residents over my decision to maximize the federal SLFRF premium payments to our police officers and essential staff, I have submitted my resignation to the Town Council. The council, citizens, and staff need to focus on the essential business of the Town. It has been my privilege to serve Double Oak for over 12 years in various capacities, and I have every confidence that Double Oak will be just fine.
