of Directors
The terms of the five members of the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD)
Board of Directors will expire on December 31, 1989. The first step
in the process of nominating new Board members for two-year terms to
begin January 1, 1990 is notification from TAD of the number of votes
to which the City is entitled. Based on the relationship which Fort
Worth's adjusted tax levy bears to the total adjusted tax levy of all
taxing entities in Tarrant County the City is entitled to 930 votes
out of a total of 5005 votes. This information was received from TAD
on Tuesday, October 3rd.
The next step in the procedure is the nomination of candidates. Each
voting unit may nominate one candidate for each of the five positions
to be filled. In past elections the City has only nominated one
candidate for each election. The casting of the City's total
entitlement assures election of the City's nominee. Because of dates
specified in the Property Tax Code the Council will need to adopt a
resolution to nominate a candidate on Tuesday, October 17th.
The City's current Board representative, Mr. Morris Matson, has served
two terms on the TAD Board and has given notification that he does not
wish to be considered for an additional term. Any persons considered
as nominees to replace Mr. Matson must have resided in the Tarrant
Appraisal District for at least two years prior to January 1, 1990.
They may serve on the governing body of a taxing unit, but may not be
an employee of a taxing unit. They may not be related to a person who
is in the business of appraising property or represents property
owners in proceedings in the appraisal district. Also ineligible is a
person having a substantial interest in a contract for services with
the appraisal district.
The staff is prepared to provide whatever assistance the Council may
require so that a resolution nominating a candidate may be prepared
for the October 17th Council agenda.
