These new directors will_serve =two - year t �be`yinning January_1,_1 88 To assist you in understanding the selection process, the State Property Tax Board has prepared the enclosed pamphlet. This pamphlet outlines the selection process, the taxing units' responsibilities in selecting new directors, and the procedures for changing the process by the present appraisal district board or by the taxing units. Also, the pamphlet includes the two new provisions passed by the 70th Texas Legislature: moving the duties of the selection process from the county clerk to the chief appraiser, and preventing a taxing unit employee from serving as a director. Some appraisal districts have changed the selection process or chosen staggered terms for directors. If your district is one of these, you will need to review how your process is different.

These directors will serve two -year terms beginning January 1, 1988. Section 6.03, Property Tax Code, establishes the selec- tion process for appraisal district directors. This pro- cess is not an "election" governed by the Texas Elec- tion Code but an indepen- dent procedure unique to the property tax system. This pamphlet describes the following features of the se- lection process. • the qualifications for serving as an appraisal dis- trict director; • the voting process; • a sample calculation of the number of votes a tax- ing unit may cast in select- ing directors; • a sample worksheet for calculating the votes; • an explanation of how taxing units may change the selection process; and • a list of each voting tax- ing unit's responsibilities. This pamphlet also de- scribes two new changes passed by the 70th Legisla- ture that affect the selection process: • the chief appraiser now administers the selection process rather than the county clerk (Senate Bill 469); and • a taxing unit employee may not serve as an apprai- sal district director (House Bill 268). Some appraisal districts have decided that directors will serve staggered terms. Other districts have changed the selection pro - cess —either in the number of directors or by the meth- od of selection. If you are such a district, you will need to review how your selection process is differ- ent.

Taring Units inMore than brie County p. 7 Director Qualifications An appraisal district director must reside in the appraisal district for at least two years immediately preceding the date he or she takes office. A person may serve on the governing body of a tax- ing unit in the appraisal district —that is, a city coun- cilman, school board trustee, county commissioner, or other board member —and still be eligible to serve as a director. The common -law doctrine of incompatibility (holding offices that have conflicting demands on the holder) does not prohibit the same person from hold- ing both offices. There is no limit to the number of elected officials that may serve on the board. The Selection Process — Step -by -step A board of five directors governs each county ap- praisal district. The county, cities and towns, and school districts participating in the district nominate and select directors. Incorporated villages are "cities and towns" and also vote. Other taxing units — junior colleges, hospital dis- tricts, and other special districts participating in the appraisal district — cannot vote for directors. The Property Tax Code permits appraisal districts to change the procedure for appointing directors. This part of the pamphlet discusses the normal process de- scribed in the tax code. A later section discusses how the appointment process can be changed. Chief appraiser's duties New legislation requires that the chief apprais- er— rather than the county clerk — handle the selec- tion process. The chief appraiser should contact the county clerk for the transfer of all records on director selection. The chief appraiser calculates the number of votes for each taxing unit, receives nominations for directors, prepares the ballot, counts the votes, and announces the winners. Throughout the selection process, the Property Tax Code specifies dates for action by the chief appraiser and the voting units. These dates are directory and not mandatory—that is, minor delays in the nominations or voting process may be ignored. A nomination made a day or two after the statutory deadline is still a valid nomination unless the chief appraiser has already prepared and distributed the ballot. Similarly, a vote delivered to the chief appraiser after the dead- line for submission is not void unless the winners have 2 A new law change prohibits an employee of a tax- ing unit in the appraisal district from serving as a di- rector. Beginning with this new term of office, the only time that a taxing unit's employee may serve is if that employee is also an elected official or member of the governing body. For example, a city councilman who is employed as the school business manager may serve as a director. Any taxing unit employee that cur- rently serves as a director will complete his or her term of office. In considering individuals to serve as directors, tax- ing units should look for expertise in such areas as ac- counting, finance, management, personnel administra- tion, contracts, computers, real estate, or taxation. been announced. Under the law, officials must be in substantial compliance with the process. The following steps outline the chief appraiser's duties. Step 1: obtain current 1986 tax levy The number of votes allocated to a voting unit is based on the amount of its tax levy as a percentage of the total tax levy of all voting units. The tax levy used in this selection process is the amount each voting unit levied in 1986. It is not the amount of taxes col- lected by the voting unit. Where a voting unit collects for a nonvoting unit, the chief appraiser disregards the tax levy of the non- voting unit. For example, the chief appraiser disre- gards the tax levy of a hospital district when calcu- lating the voting entitlement of a county. The chief appraiser uses the 1986 tax levy on the most recent official tabulation of the unit's levy. One source for this levy amount is the taxing unit's 1987 ef- fective tax rate calculation. The first number of this calculation requires the current 1986 tax levy of the unit. If a taxing unit participates in more than one ap- praisal district, the chief appraiser uses only the tax levied in the appraisal district for which the chief appraiser is calculating the votes. If a multicounty unit has chosen only one appraisal district, that ap- praisal district uses all of the tax levy in calculating the unit's votes. The chief appraiser also should find out if any vot- ing unit plans to change appraisal districts. For a county, the chief appraiser should include the tax levy for farm -to- market roads and special road and bridge funds, since the commissioners of the county set those tax rates and impose those taxes. On the other hand, do not include any county equal- ization funds in calculating the votes of both the coun- DIRECTOR SELECTION /1987 ty and the benefitting school districts. A county equal- ization district that levies a tax under Chapter 18, Education Code, is a separate school district entitled to participate in the selection process. Further, the chief appraiser does not include pay- ments received in lieu of taxes in the tax levy of a vot- ing unit, since by definition such payments do not con- stitute tax levies. Step 2: calculate votes for each voting unit By September 30, 1987, the chief appraiser must calculate the number of votes for each voting unit. To determine the votes, the chief appraiser must: 1. divide the amount of 1986 property taxes imposed by each unit by the total amount of 1986 property taxes imposed by all voting units; 2. multiply the quotient in No. 1 by 1,000 and round to the nearest whole number; and 3. multiply the whole number in No. 2 by the number of seats on the appraisal district board that will be filled. The formula looks like this: V =U/ Tx1,000xD V = the number of votes for a given voting unit. U = the amount of 1986 property taxes imposed by the given voting unit. T = the total amount of 1986 property taxes imposed by all voting units within the appraisal district. D = the number of directors that will be selected this year (ordinarily five, unless the number of directors has increased.) A sample calculation and a worksheet for determin- ing the votes appears below. SAMPLE CALCULATION OF VOTES TO SELECT FIVE DIRECTORS VOTES ENTITY TAX LEVY Percentage Number 1.

The chief appraiser will send a notice of the votes to the following individuals: • for the county, to the county judge and each county commissioner; • for a city or town, to the mayor and to the city man- ager, city secretary or city clerk (as applicable); • for a school district, to the school board president and to the school superintendent. Step 4: receive director nominations Each voting unit may nominate one candidate for each position to be filled. Thus, the unit may nomi- nate from one to five candidates, provided the board of directors consists of five members. The unit can nom- inate more candidates if the size of the board has been increased. Nominations must be made in an open meet- ing. The presiding officer of the unit submits the names of the nominees by written resolution to the chief ap- praiser by October 14. The presiding officer should in- clude the addresses of the nominees so that the chief appraiser can notify the winners. The chief appraiser has neither the authority nor the duty of investigating or judging the qualifications of the nominees. Step 5: prepare the ballot By October 29, the chief appraiser must prepare a Vacancies on the Board If a vacancy on the board of directors occurs, the re- maining board members must choose a replacement from a list of nominees selected by the voting units. Each voting unit may nominate a candidate as a re- Changing the Selection Process Section 6.031, Property Tax Code, permits the changing of the selection process for directors. One method allows the existing appraisal board to change the number of directors or the method of selection, or both, subject to veto by any voting unit. A second op- tion is called the "three- fourths procedure" because at ballot listing the nominees alphabetically by each candidate's last name. The chief appraiser must de- liver a copy of this ballot to the presiding officer of the governing body of each voting unit. Step 6: count the votes Each voting unit must vote in open meeting, report its vote by written resolution, and submit it to the chief appraiser by November 16. The unit may cast all its votes for one candidate or may distribute the votes among any number of candidates. Some voting units may have enough votes to select several directors to the board. To share representation on the board, several units may wish to vote for the same candidate. A voting unit must cast its votes for a person nomi- nated and named on the ballot. There is no provision for write -in candidates. The chief appraiser may not count votes cast for someone not listed on the official ballot. Step 7: announce the winners The chief appraiser must count the votes and de- clare the candidates who received the largest vote to- tals by November 30. The chief appraiser notifies all taxing units (voting and nonvoting) and all the candi- dates (winners and losers) of the outcome. If a tie occurs, the chief appraiser must resolve it through any method of chance. Methods of chance in- clude such actions as flipping a coin, drawing straws, drawing a black bean, drawing names from a hat, and so forth. placement. It must submit the name of its nominee to the chief appraiser within 10 days after notification of the vacancy by the board of directors. Within the next five days, the chief appraiser pre- pares and delivers a list of the nominees to the board of directors. From this list, the board will select a person by majority vote for the vacancy. least three- fourths of the voting units must decide to change the process. First option: unanimous consent The appraisal district board may increase its num- ber of directors to a maximum of 13 or change the selec- tion procedure or both. To do so this year, the directors must have passed a resolution stating the change and sent it to all taxing units in the appraisal district by August 14, 1987. DIRECTOR SELECTION /1987 Any voting unit —county, city or town, or school dis- trict —may veto the change by adopting a resolution of opposition and filing it with the board of directors by August 31. Upon receipt of a veto resolution, the board of direc- tors must notify all taxing units in writing by Septem- ber 14. This deadline allows sufficient time for taxing units to invoke the second option —the three- fourths procedure. Second option: three - fourths procedure The second option allows three - fourths of the vot- ing units to increase the number of directors by written resolution to a maximum of 13 or change the selection procedure or both. However, there are limitations on changes allowed under this second option. 1. If a voting unit that has a majority of the votes under the normal selection process does not adopt a res- olution supporting the change, then the proposed method may not reduce the voting strength of the vot- ing unit to less than a majority of votes. For example, a school district with 85 percent of all calculated votes must agree to any proposed change that decreases its voting percentage to less than 50 percent of all votes. If the school does not agree, the new method is void, even if approved by three - fourths of the remaining units. 2. A second limitation addresses the reduction of any taxing unit's votes below 50 percent of the number of votes that the unit receives under the normal selection process. If the unit does not adopt a resolution support- Summary: Tasks for Voting Units in the Selection Process The governing bodies of the voting units have cer- tain responsibilities in selecting directors. The gov- erning body of each voting unit must do the following: 1. File a resolution with the chief appraiser by Octo- ber 1 if the unit wishes to change the selection process. 2. File a resolution of opposition with the board of di- rectors by August 31 if the unit objects to a change in the selection process that the board of directors has made. DIRECTOR SELECTION /1987 ing the change that results in the unit's loss of more than half its votes, then the appraisal district reduc- es the unit's appraisal district costs by the same pro- portion. For example, a city has 40 percent of all calculated votes and does not support the resolution to change the selection process. The new method can reduce that city's voting strength to 20 percent without any budget adjustment. However, if the new method reduces the strength to less than 20 percent, then the appraisal district reduces the city's appraisal district costs by the same proportion. 3. Neither procedure may expand the types of units that vote. Steps for changing the selection process By September 30, 1987, at least three - fourths of the voting units must adopt and file resolutions with the chief appraiser for changing the selection process. By October 5, the chief appraiser determines whether a sufficient number of voting units have adopted the res- olution to change the selection process. If this is the case, the chief appraiser must notify all taxing units of the change by October 9. Once adopted, any replacement procedure remains in effect for subsequent elections until: 1. the resolution changes in accordance with the re- quirements and provisions of Sec. 6.031 (the statute for changing the process); or 2. a majority of the voting units rescind the resolution that approved the change. 3. Receive the unit's votes from the chief appraiser by September 30. Nominate one candidate for each posi- tion on the board of directors. Submit the names and addresses of the nominees to the chief appraiser by October 14. 4. Cast votes for any of the candidates on the ballot. Send the resolution to the chief appraiser by Novem- ber 16. 5. Receive notice of the winners by November 30. 6. Nominate a person to fill a vacancy on the board of directors within 10 days after notice of the vacancy. Send the name of the nominee to the chief appraiser. 5 Recalling a Director A voting unit may begin a recall of an appraisal district director at any time. It can take as many as 40 days to recall the director and 75 days to select a re- placement. Thus, the recall and appointment process can take as many as 115 days to complete if all parties take the full allotted time for action. Recall under normal election rules A voting unit may attempt to recall a director ap- pointed under the normal selection process (Sec. 6.03), provided that the unit cast at least one of its votes for that director when the director was appointed. The unit must file a written resolution with the chief ap- praiser stating that the unit requests the recall of that director. The unit may cast its votes for recall at the same time. It may cast the same number of votes that it cast for the appointment of that director. Again, all action must take place in open meeting. Notice and vote Within 10 days after the filing of a resolution, the chief appraiser notifies each voting unit that a taxing unit has initiated a recall. This allows each voting unit to be aware of the recall attempt. A voting unit that cast one of its votes for that di- rector may vote to recall him or her. The unit must file a written resolution with the chief appraiser within 30 days after filing of the recall resolution. Each vot- ing unit receives the same number of votes in the recall as it cast in the appointment process. Outcome of recall Within 10 days after this 30 -day recall period, the chief appraiser counts the votes. If the number of votes in favor of the recall equals or exceeds a majority of the votes cast for a director's appointment, that di- rector is recalled and ceases to be a member of the board immediately. The chief appraiser sends written notice to the chairman of the appraisal district board and to the 6 Staggered Terms for Directors In appraisal districts where voting units have changed the method of selecting directors, the units can also authorize staggered terms for directors. voting units that voted in the recall process. If the chairman of the board of directors is the director re- called, the chief appraiser must also notify the secre- tary of the appraisal district board about the outcome. Vacancy after a recall A successful recall creates a vacancy on the board of directors. Only those taxing units that voted in the re- call election will participate in appointing a new di- rector. Each unit receives the same number of votes that it originally cast in appointing the recalled di- rector. Each unit may nominate one candidate by written resolution. The taxing unit's presiding officer submits the resolution to the chief appraiser within 30 days after notification of the successful recall. Within 15 days after this 30 -day period, the chief appraiser lists the candidates alphabetically by last name on a ballot and delivers the ballot to each voting unit. The voting unit has 15 days to vote and return the ballot. Within 15 days after this 15 - day period, the chief appraiser counts the votes and announces the winner. The chief appraiser resolves a tie vote through any method of chance. The chief appraiser submits the result to the chair- man of the appraisal district board, to all taxing units in the appraisal district, and to the candidates. Recall under changed election rules If the appraisal district has changed its method of selecting directors, only the units that voted or partic- ipated in the appointment of a director may recall that director and appoint a new one. A majority of these units may adopt any method by resolution to ap- point the new director. For example, the selection procedure may allow a school district to choose a director. The school district determines the method of recall for that director and the appointment of a successor. However, if selection is through cumulative voting, then the recall and ap- pointment method must provide each taxing unit with the same number of votes both in the recall and in the appointment that it originally cast for the director. "Staggered terms" refers to a situation where only half of the appraisal district directors' terms expire each year. This assures some continuity of familiarity and experience while allowing for new members. Staggered terms apply only where the selection method eliminates cumulative voting. Voting units may concurrently propose staggered terms and elimi- nation of cumulative voting. DIRECTOR SELECTION /1987 Action by voting units To authorize staggered terms this year, three - fourths of the voting units must file written resolutions with the chief appraiser by September 30. Resolu- tions passed in a non - selection year are ineffective. Action by chief appraiser By October 5, 1987, the chief appraiser determines whether a sufficient number of voting units have filed valid resolutions for staggered terms. By October 12, the chief appraiser notifies all taxing units if the change has been approved. Setting staggered terms If adopted, staggered terms become effective Janu- ary 1, 1988. All directors take office on that date. At the earliest practical date after January 1, the direc- tors determine by lot who will serve one -year terms and two -year terms. If the board consists of an even number of directors, then one -half of the board serves each length of term. If the board consists of an odd number, the number of members to serve two-year terms exceeds the number to serve one -year terms by one. If the three - fourths procedure increases the number of directors and changes the method of selection, the resolution must specify the number of terms beginning in even - numbered years and those in odd - numbered years, with a difference of no greater than one. Taxing Units in More Than One County The Property Tax Code requires that all taxing units participate in county appraisal districts. Section 6.02 sets guidelines for taxing units located in more than once county. Choosing one appraisal district A multi -county taxing unit may participate in the appraisal districts for each county in which it has par- cels. If so, it can vote for directors in each appraisal district. The chief appraiser uses the taxes levied on property in the chief appraiser's district in calculating the unit's votes for that district. Alternatively, a mul- ti- county unit can choose to participate in only one ap- praisal district; if so the appraisal district appraises all the parcels in that unit and the chief appraiser uses taxes levied on all property in the unit in calculating the unit's votes for the district. The unit also assumes the entire cost of appraising property that falls outside the normal appraisal district boundaries. The unit's governing body must officially act to approve partici- DIRECTOR SELECTION /1987 After the first year, the appraisal district selects directors annually for those directors whose terms ex- pire during that year. All new directors serve two - year terms once the initial one -year terms expire. Filling a vacancy If a vacancy occurs on the board of directors with staggered terms, the taxing unit that originally nomi- nated that director appoints the replacement by writ- ten resolution. The procedure for filling a vacancy under the normal selection process or after a successful recall do not apply. Ending staggered terms Under the normal selection process, a majority of the voting units may rescind staggered terms. These units must file rescinding resolutions with the chief appraiser by September 30, 1987. If voting units file the required number of resolutions, then the chief ap- praiser notifies all taxing units of the change. The terms of all directors serving at the time of the rescission expire on January 1, 1988. This will include directors who will have served only one year of a two - year term. Voting taxing units will appoint the entire board of directors to take office on January 1 for two - year terms. Finally, if the appraisal district adopts or rescinds a change in the method of selecting directors to a method involving cumulative voting, then the change has the same effect as rescinding staggered terms. pation in one district; the chosen appraisal district's board of directors must also approve the change. The change becomes effective on the next January 1 that is at least 90 days after the date of action by the govern- ing body. For example, XYZ School District lies in both Ap- praisal District A and Appraisal District B. After par- ticipating in both districts for several years, the school board acts in August 1987 to change to District A only. If District A approves, this change becomes effective January 1, 1988. If the school board acted after October 3, 1987, then the change becomes effective January 1, 1989. Changing appraisal districts Any multi- county taxing unit may choose to partici- pate in a single appraisal district. Further, a taxing unit that chose one appraisal district may withdraw from that district and choose another district. Howev- er, it cannot then withdraw from the second district. If a taxing unit lies in three or more counties and its bound- aries change so that it no longer has territory in the district it has chosen, it can choose to participate in one of the remaining counties. 7 For example, XYZ Utility District extends into three counties. The utility district participates in Ap- praisal District A. On September 2, 1987, the utility district board officially acts to change to Appraisal District B. Appraisal District B approves the action. 8 Effective January 1, 1988, XYZ utility district will participate in Appraisal District B. If the utility dis- trict ceases to have territory in Appraisal District B later, the utility district can join one or both of the other districts. State Property Tax Board P.O.
