David R. Montague Files for Council

David R. Montague, a retired engineer, filed as a candidate Friday for the Place 6 position on the Bellaire City Council.
Montague, an 18-year resident of Bellaire, worked at Shell Oil for 41 years before he retired.
Although he has not served on any city boards or commissions, Montague has attended and commented at Bellaire City Council meetings.
In July of 2013, Montague expressed concerns about whether the the city of Bellaire should seek voter approval of $5 million in new bonds for Evelyn’s Park. Bellaire voters approved those bonds in an election later that year.
The city of Bellaire will hold its general election on November 3, 2015. There are three open seats on the council for two-year terms, as well as a special election being held to fill the unexpired term of Councilman Andrew Friedberg, who resigned to run for mayor. Mayor Phil Nauert is not seeking reelection. The deadline for candidates to file in the election is August 24
The park, which is now under construction, is located on the site of the former Teas Nursery property. The 5-acre tract of land was donated to the city by The Rubenstein Foundation.
Montague is seeking to fill the seat now held by Position 6 Councilmember and Mayor Pro Tem Mandy Nathan. Nathan is term-limited and ineligible for reelection to the council.
