FROM: Bob Scott, Assistant City Manager
Title
Consider A Resolution Nominating A Candidate To Be A Member Of The Board Of Directors For The Denton Central Appraisal District.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The Property Tax Code, Section 6.03 requires that an election or appointment of members to the Board of Directors of a Central Appraisal District (CAD) be conducted in odd number years. The term of office is two years, beginning in even number years. Denton and Collin CADs use a similar process for nomination and election. All taxing units elect all directors with a total of 5,000 votes being divided by taxing unit based on the relative size of the units tax levy. Dallas CAD has the City of Dallas, Dallas ISD and Dallas County appoint one director each with all remaining school districts electing a director and all remaining cities electing a director. In 2017, the City Council successfully nominated Roy Atwood for a Denton CAD Director position. Mr. Atwood has expressed a desire to continue in this role. In addition, the city has also been contacted by Bryan Webb and David Terre requesting that the City nominate them. The City may nominate up to five candidates and has 116 of 5,000 votes to cast. No one has contacted the city expressing desire to serve on the board of either Collin or Dallas CADs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Select a candidate and approve the attached resolution nominating the candidate for the Denton Central Appraisal District’s Board of Directors.
