ITEM: 12C - Consider a resolution ratifying real state

County
Apprasial District.
STAFF RESOURCE PERSON: Sam Huey
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
In 1984 the Williamson County Tax Apprasial
District Board decided to purchase a building
in Georgetown to house their opration. There
was no law on the books at that time to prevent
purchasing, and their attorney said, in his
opinion, they could purchase a building. This
year a law was passed saying that purchases
must be voted on and passed by 3/4 of the members
of the District for all future purchases. All
purchases in the past must be ratified by the
members.

M E M O R A N D U M
Several of the entities have requested a sample resolution to use
when voting on ratification of our property purchase. I am enclosing
one which you may use as is or modify.
Also, there have been some questions about why this was not done
when the office was purchased. At the time we bought our office
there was no law in effect regarding purchase of real estate. The
legislature enacted legislation during their last session making
legal for appraisal districts to purchase real estate. One of the
provisions was that prior purchases be ratified by the voting
entities of the district.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Donna Mangham
