Title

Discuss casting a vote for Farmers Branch in the runoff election for Dallas Central Appraisal District Board of Directors.

 

Body

BACKGROUND:

State law requires the Chief Appraiser of a county to conduct an election of representatives to the Board of Directors in odd-numbered years. The process outlined in the Texas Property Tax Code requires the election to be conducted and individual entities to be notified of the results once the process is complete. The suburban cities of Dallas County selected their nominees for the Board of Directors, and the tallies indicate that a runoff election must be held. The top two candidates participating in the runoff election are Michael Hurtt of Desoto and Brett Franks of Sachse. The suburban cities of Dallas County are asked to cast their votes for one of these candidates.

 

DISCUSSION:

City staff recommends the City Council discuss the two top candidates and make a determination on a vote for the fourth member of the Dallas Central Appraisal District Board of Directors.
