Box 2816 Denton, TX 76202-2816 www.dentoncad.com MEMO TO: Denton County, All School Districts and All Cities That Levy A Tax FROM: Joe Rogers SUBJECT: Appointing Board of Directors DATE: September 5, 2003 It is time again for the taxing jurisdictions to select five individuals to serve as the DCAD Board of Directors. According to Section 6.03 of the Property Tax Code, it is the chief appraiser's responsibility to initiate this process, which is the purpose of this memo. Please return the nomination form as soon as possible. Generally the following will take place: 1. Prior to October 1st - I advise each jurisdiction of the number of votes they are entitled to cast for appointing the Board members. 2. Prior to October 15th -The governing body of each jurisdiction nominates candidates to the DCAD Board of Directors and advises my office of the nominees. Each taxing jurisdiction can nominate up to five candidates if they wish. The number of votes that each jurisdiction has is not relevant in the initial nomination phase. Please note that a chief appraiser does not have the authority, or the duty, to investigate, or judge, the qualifications of the nominees. Further, a chief appraiser can not extend the deadline for receiving nominations. 3. Prior to October 30th - My office compiles a comprehensive list of the nominees and this information is sent to the taxing jurisdictions in the form of a ballot. 0003�, Phone: 940-349-3800 Metro: 972-434-2602 Fax: 940-349-3801 Memo, Appointing Board of Directors, September 5, 2003 page 2 4. Prior to December 15th -The taxing jurisdictions choose by written resolution the candidate, or candidates, of their choice. The jurisdictions then submit the names of their candidates and the votes they cast for each candidate to my office prior to the December 15th deadline. Please note that the maximum number of votes needed to place a candidate on the Board is 1,000. Accordingly, there is little reason for a candidate to receive greater than 1,000 votes. 5. Prior to December 31st - i tabulate the votes and forward the results back to the jurisdictions. The five candidates that have received the most votes become the Board of Directors as of January 1 st. The following information might be useful to a jurisdiction when selecting a nominee for the Board of Directors. AUTHORITATIVE GUIDELINES - The selection process is set forth in Section 6.03 of the Property Tax Code. This process is not an Is governed by the Texas Election Code. It is an independent procedure unique to the property tax system. ELIGIBILITY - An appraisal district director must reside in the appraisal district for at least two years immediately preceding the date he or she takes office. Most residents are eligible to serve as a director. An individual that is serving on the governing body of a city, county, or school district is eligible to serve as an appraisal district's director. The common-law doctrine of incompatibility (holding offices that have conflicting demands on the holder) does not prohibit the same person from holding both offices. All five board members may be elected officials of taxing jurisdictions. An employee of a taxing unit served by the appraisal district is not eligible to serve as a director. However, if the employee is an elected official, he or she is eligible to serve. A statute relevant to the Board selection process prohibits nepotism and conflict of interest for appraisal district directors and chief appraisers. In summary, the law states that. .........."a person may not serve as director if closely related to anyone in the appraisal district or if related to anyone who represents owners in the district, or if the person has an interest in a business that contracts with the district or a taxing unit. A chief appraiser may not employ someone closely related to a member of the board of directors". EXPERIENCE - In considering individuals to serve as directors, taxing units should look for expertise in such areas as accounting, finance, management, personnel administration, contracts, computers, real estate or taxation. Historical involvement in local government activities also indicates that someone should make an excellent Board member. 00038 Memo, Appointing Board of Directors, September 5, ZWO page 3 FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS - The applicable statutes require the board of directors to meet not less often than once each calendar quarter. The DCAD Board meets more often than is required by law. Page four of this document provides your jurisdiction with the number of votes it has for electing DCAD's Board. The final page is a form that is to be used to advise my office of your jurisdiction's nominees to the Board. Each individual receiving a copy of this memo is receiving a copy of the nomination form for their information. There is no need to provide my office with more than one completed copy of the nomination form.

You also may not serve as an ARB member if you are closely related to a person who operates For compensation as a tax agent or is in the business of appraising property for property tax purposes in the appraisal district. Relatives barred are those within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity. If you knowingly violate this provision, you commit a class B misdemeanor. This provision took effect September 1, 1989, and applies only to ARB members serving terms that began after that date. The law also bars from ARB service members who contract with the appraisal district or with a taxing unit in the appraisal district. The bar applies if the member or a business entity in which the member has a substantial interest contracts with the appraisal district or a taxing unit that participates in the appraisal district. Likewise, the same taxing units and the appraisal district are each prohibited from contracting with an ARB member or a business entity in which an ARB member has a substantial interest. Substantial interest is defined as either: 1. Combined ownership by the member or the member's spouse of at least 10 percent of the voting stock or shares of the business. 2. Service by the member or the member's spouse as a partner, limited partner or officer in the business entity. You may also not serve if you hold some other paid public office. The Texas Constitution does not allow a person to hold more than one paid public office. Our attorney has interpreted an officer to be a member of a Planning and Zoning Board, a member of a Zoning Board of Adjustments, an election official or any officer that has decision - making authority for any entity that the Appraisal District serves. S. B. 1017 requires the Comptroller to approve curricula, provide materials and supervise a course for training ARB members. The Comptroller shall issue certificates indicating course completion.

The library also still has a connection through the school district's T-I line. ADMINISTRATION: After much debate, the County Commissioner's Court again agreed to fund libraries. We will be funded at the same rate as 2002-2003, i.e. $1.25 per capita plus $10,000 matching. Adam Wright, the Technology Consultant of the North Texas Regional Library System, visited the library. He looked at the Library's local area network, discussed future technology needs and resolved some small problems with our public access computers. At the request of the City Secretary, updated the job descriptions for Director and Clerk.

It all started when some wonderful person donated three DVDs: Pleasantville, Stargate SG-1 and Four Weddings and a Fu- ^•l Tl_ T new service with only three items! But lots of other people started ask- ing if the library had DVDs. Then the librarian noticed how inexpensive DVD players.were getting. And fi- nally, the legislators of the State of Texas decided that libraries needed some direct funding from the State. Sanger Public Library got $2,202. It wasn't hard to figure out something nice to do with the money. The Library started checking out its first DVDs in April. Titles like Left Behind Ili Shrek and 'I'hc 'Tuxedo were among the first to go out. DVDs t 41 zda3 may be cl;eelred out for one :week. and so sometimes the pickings were pretty slim because almost every- thing was checked out. More movies have been added anti...,,.: t...,re a4: G2 Son'. of tl.:.lie newer ones are Chicagao and Antixone Fisher. The latest one is Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. DVDs are still more likely to be checked out than they are to be in the library, but at least now borrowers can usually' Tied something! Anyone who is doing the math realizes that all the State grant wasn't spent on DVDs. The library com- mitted to spend it on all kinds of au- diovisual materials. S� the library now has more books on tape. For t t t:t t t. tl:e firsttirric t,1C uvcuty Gf Cry a ,un.� on CD. 'There are also some new movies cr: VHS. Come and Icok at t.":e audio and video sections of the Li- 'rrarv. There is another change at the li- brary. One that is not so fun, but is has been raised from five cents a day to ten cents a day. That's still not very high, but it is hoped that books will come back sooner. Your library is a small library, and it needs all of its materials to be able to sc..°e evcryonc. Please come by the Sanger Pub- lic Library. We are at 501 Bolivar Street on the west side of the down- town park. Take a look at the new things we offer. Make suggestions about what we should offer.
