issues. Included in the attached presentation were plans to enhance and reconfigure
curb and on-street striping, add additional signage, a joint DPD/UNTPD parking
enforcement strategy, an update on the procedure to establish a residential parking
district,and plans for residential and university outreach and engagement. Attendees
were supportive of the City and University's plans and provided additional feedback
to be considered. Nine City of Denton staff members and four UNT staff members
were in attendance. Staff contact: Rachel Wood, City Manager's Office/Ryan
Adams, Public Affairs
B. Properties on Oak and FU St. — Council Member Briggs shared a resident concern
about individuals and debris at the Oak and Fry Street properties. The City does not
have legal authority to evict tenants from the property. In order to remove tenants,
the property owner would need to initiate the eviction process. The property is
currently under contract for sale and the potential new owner indicated his intent to
demolish the structures after taking legal possession. In the meantime, staff has
confirmed that the potential new property owner has promised to send a crew to
clean up the property. Staff contact: Aaron Leal, City Attorney/Scott McDonald,
Development Services

D. Bonnie Brae/Scripture Intersection — Beginning June 10, the intersection of N.
Bonnie Brae Street and Scripture Street was temporarily closed to allow crews to
safely complete drainage improvements, water and wastewater relocations, and the
installation of a roundabout at the intersection. The project has made significant
progress during the summer months. At this time, the project is on track for an
anticipated opening of one lane of traffic in both directions of Bonnie Brae Street
and the west side of Scripture Street by Tuesday, September 3. A project update
with the anticipated lane opening date and current detour route was shared with the
school district, DCTA,university, and surrounding medical facilities this week. For
more information on the Bonnie Brae Street project visit
www.improvingdenton.com. Staff contact: Jim Jenks, Capital Projects
E. Indoor Firing Range — Council Member Armintor asked for the total size of the
proposed indoor firing range at the August 13 Council meeting. As currently
proposed, the range would measure 23,329 square feet. The concept plan, which
includes detailed images and measurements, is attached. Staff contact: Frank
Dixon, Police
F. Homelessness Strategy — At the August 6 Council meeting, Council Member
Meltzer asked if a group could work on identifying next steps and gaps to address
in the housing crisis response system, assuming the Monsignor King Outreach
Center (MKOC) proposal is funded and implemented. This request was brought to
the Denton County Homelessness Leadership Team(DCHLT) during their meeting
on Thursday. DCHLT continues to serve in a strategic role to assess the data and
needs and develop next steps and actions. There is an Affordable Housing
workgroup of the DCHLT that is exploring and trying to identify opportunities to
increase the stock of a range of housing options and the Shelter Planning workgroup
is planned to be reconvened in the fall to provide an overview of the MKOC
implementation plan, if funded, and determine if the group would like to work on
next steps, such as a day shelter. Staff contact: Sarah Kuechler, Public Affairs
G. Windsor Traffic — Council Member Briggs requested information on improving
safety at the intersection of Windsor Dr. and Bell Ave. due to heavy school traffic.
Staff is exploring the installation of additional stop signs or a traffic signal at this
location;however,intersections must meet State and Federal criteria before staff can
install either an all-way stop or a traffic signal. Staff submitted the request to study
this intersection through an engineering consultant on Monday, August 12 and
expect to have the results of that study by Friday, August 23. After staff receives
and is able to analyze the results of the study, they will select the appropriate traffic
control device and schedule the installation of selected device(s). Staff contact:
Pritam Deshmukh, Capital Projects

H. Wastewater Dyno and Mulch Products — During the August 13 City Council
meeting, Council Members Armintor and Briggs requested information on type and
sales volumes for compost products. The table below provides products descriptions
and sales from 2016 through the first 10 months of 2019. City Departments
purchased 1,774 cubic yards of products (9%) in 2019. Staff proposed continuing
Bagged Dyno dirt bag sales and discontinuing landscape mulch. Bagged Dyno dirt
sales indicate strong interest with approximately 2,400 bags sold since the product
line was started 6 months ago (without advertising). Landscape mulch sales, are
lower than other mulch products and have continued to decrease, ultimately
resulting in staff's recommendation to discontinue this product line. Double grind is
the same as decorative mulch (just without colorant) which provides an option for
those not wishing to use colored products. The City's colorant vendor uses water-
based colorants formulated to be nontoxic to children, animals and plants.

I. Developer Town Hall Meeting — Staff held a Developer Town Hall meeting on
Monday, August 12 to provide updates to the development community on the
following changes that have occurred and updates which are coming:
• Recent legislative changes
• Denton Development Code Updates
• The Development Cost of Service Study
• Construction Code Updates
• Environmentally Sensitive Area Criteria Manual
• Roadway Impact Fees
There were over 100 individuals in attendance. Staff was available during and after
the meeting to address questions from the audience. Some feedback received
included requests to improve the manuals related to submittal software, provide
4
timely reviews, and concern about the change in process related to the recent
legislation. Staff provided a draft process map for clarity on the changes proposed
and the impact on development. Those in attendance indicated the meeting was
beneficial and requested the City of Denton hold a similar meeting in September.
Staff contact: Scott McDonald, Development Services
J. McKenna Park Roundabout Landscaping — In the July 26 Friday Report, Staff
shared pre-and post-clearing views of the trees removed for the Bonnie Brae project
as well as an explanation of why tree removal was necessary. Staff also shared that
additional trees will be planted as part of the landscaping portion of the project at
the conclusion of construction. The roundabout construction is expected to be
complete by late fall. The landscaping will begin following the completion of the
construction. Parks and Recreation staff have developed a landscaping plan for the
roundabout (pictures attached). Staff is also establishing new processes to ensure
that all City capital projects are subject to the same level of scrutiny and standards
as a private development in terms of tree survey requirements,tree preservation, and
replacement documentation for the project file. This new process will be
implemented as soon as possible. Staff contacts: Todd Estes, Capital Projects/Gary
Packan, Parks and Recreation
K. General Service Contracts—On July 10, Council Member Armintor requested a list
of active City contracts for labor positions. The list was to include the contractor
(vendor) name, type of position contracted, how many positions are assigned to the
City contract, and the lowest rate of pay paid by the contractor (vendor). A list of
active general services (non-construction, non-professional services) is attached.
Purchasing does not currently require contractors (vendors) to provide the number
of positions assigned to City contracts or the lowest rate of pay paid by the
contractor. Future solicitations for general services will request the aforementioned
information and provide it as part of the bid response. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden,
Procurement& Compliance
L. Downtown Parking—Mayor Pro Tern Hudspeth recently inquired about what could
be done to clean up building materials,dumpsters and other parking impediments in
downtown, particularly along N. Austin. Staff will be presenting a proposed
expansion of the valet solid waste collection service during the work session on
Tuesday, Aug. 20. During that presentation, staff will outline the phased approach
to remove dumpsters and help eliminate much of the visual clutter in the downtown
corridor, staff will also be prepared to answer specific questions about the potential
number of parking spaces gained as a result of the expanded valet solid waste
collection program. Staff contact: Brian Boemer, Solid Waste
M. Mall Sports Complex — On August 3, Council Member Briggs asked if the City
could partner with Golden Triangle Mall to turn the former Sears department store
space into a sport complex that is similar to the one in Murphy, TX Staff reached
out to the Mall management team who stated that they are trying to find a retail
option to fill this space. They also informed staff that Sears still owns the building
at this time and it may take some time for a redevelopment plan to be worked out.
Staff will continue to maintain communication with management and monitor this
5
space in the event that there are any opportunities to partner in the future. Staff
contact: Jessica Rogers, Economic Development
N. Purchasing Award— City of Denton's Procurement Department has been awarded
the prestigious 24th Annual Achievement of Excellence in Procurement®(AEP)for
2019 from the National Procurement Institute, Inc. (NPI). The AEP Award is
earned by public and non-profit agencies that demonstrate a commitment to
procurement excellence. This annual program recognizes procurement
organizations that embrace Innovation, Professionalism, Productivity, Leadership
and e-Procurement. The AEP program encourages the development of excellence as
well as continued organizational improvement to earn the award annually. The City
of Denton is one of only 48 agencies in Texas and one of only 67 cities in the United
States and Canada to receive the award. Staff contact: Cassey Ogden, Procurement
& Compliance
O. Providing Accessible Parking Spaces at the VA Denton Mental Health Annex —
Staff used the incorrect name of a facility in last Friday's report. The mistake has
been corrected and all other information remains the same. On August 6, Council
Member Armintor asked if someone from the City could speak with the staff of the
VA Denton Mental Health Annex on Carroll Boulevard and offer to paint new
accessible parking spots. City staff is unable to offer this service to a privately-
owned property because it would constitute the gifting of public funds which is not
permitted according to the Texas Constitution, article III, § 52. Staff contact: Erin
Winn, Public Affairs
P. Purchase Power Update — New record electric demand was realized by the Texas
electric grid operator, ERCOT, on both Aug. 12 and Aug. 13. The attached memo

City load demand during these extreme market conditions. Staff contact: Terry
Naulty, Denton Municipal Electric

R. Natatorium Anticipated Reopening— The Denton Natatorium (NAT) is tentatively
scheduled to reopen on Friday, August 23 after completion of renovations and
repairs. From a 2018 bond election, DISD funded $1.4 million to make several
repairs to the NAT including replacement of the dehumidification/HVAC system,
replastering the competition pool, and replacing four rooftop units (this work was
completed in Fall 2018).
6

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 16, 2019
TO: Todd Hileman, City Manager
FROM: Terry Naulty,Assistant General Manager
THROUGH: Antonio Puente, Jr., Chief Financial Officer
SUBJECT: Purchase Power Update
New record electric demand was realized by the Texas grid operator, ERCOT, on Monday and
Tuesday of this week. While not setting a new record on Thursday, the ERCOT grid was even
more stressed due to the lack of renewable wind generation. Denton's load peaked at 354 MWs
which was lower than the peak last year of 373 MW. On Tuesday and Thursday, ERCOT issued
an Emergency Alert Level 1, an indication that reserve generation levels were below established
safety margins. Wholesale market prices were at or just below the maximum allowable
$9,000/MWh($9/kWh) for just over 4 hours combined for Tuesday and Thursday.
DME's wholesale power portfolio and city load demand in these three days of extreme priced
markets is shown below. Wednesday the 14th was a very hot day and typical for August.
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

Revenues(Gross Sales to ERCOT):

Santa Rita (wind) 138,285 553,513 169,187 45,313

Other ERCOT Settlements 115,996 1,007,794 (18,242) 1,497,351
Total Revenue $ 2,913,547 $ 8,038,509 $ 843,477 $ 9,252,382
Expenses (Purchase from ERCOT):
City Load $(3,334,772) $(8,543,287) $ (836,068) $(8,955,153)
Net Cost- Estimated $ (421,225) $ (504,778) $ 7,409 $ 297,229

Additionally, the EMO bought 15 MW of financially settled energy for August as a hedge against
market exposure as experienced on this week for $85/MWh back in May. This hedge performed
well, and the impact is not included in the above numbers.
A positive "Net Cost" in the table above indicates that the ERCOT credit due DME is larger than
the cost to purchase the load requirements, since DME had surplus supply during some of the
highest priced periods.
Some conclusions and observations that can be drawn from this performance include:
1. The Denton Energy Center is performing as designed. It provides an excellent hedge against
high market prices (spikes) and protects the load from exposure to high market prices for large
volumes of energy.
a. Without the DEC, DME customers would have been responsible for an additional $14+
million in energy costs for Monday through Thursday,had the EMO not hedged the risk
exposure otherwise. This equates to an ECA rate of$0.53/kWh versus the current ECA
rate of$.0341/kWh for this time period.
2. Blue Bell's (solar) performance is excellent with peak production during the highest priced
hours providing price protection similar to the DEC.
3. Wolf Ridge's(wind) contract guaranteed output of 30 MW regardless of actual wind conditions
is an excellent price hedge during high priced hours. Its high cost at night during low priced
hours is a negative.
4. Santa Rita (wind), the largest single renewable component of the power portfolio, did not
provide much of a price hedge as its output during the high-priced afternoon hours, with the
exception of Wednesday,was zero or close to zero due to no wind. It did participate in one high
priced hour on Tuesday afternoon. Total wind production in ERCOT yesterday during peak
demand was under 2000 MW from over 20,000 MW of installed wind capacity.
5. Future solar contracts that will add 150 MW to the supply portfolio will be value enhancing
during high price,high demand hours. However,continued additions of solar and wind capacity
to the ERCOT market are anticipated to further push prices down during the morning hours as
the sun comes up and during most hours of the year when high demand is not being experienced
which will somewhat offset the value during super-peak hours (2 pm—6 pm)
6. During high demand and low wind periods, as was experienced both Monday and Thursday,
DME is exposed to high market prices for the difference between the load demand and the sum
of the DEC capacity + Blue Bell solar + Wolf Ridge (354 MW load-225 MW DEC -30MW
Wolf Ridge-30 MW Blue Bell=69 MW). Were Santa Rita wind producing energy during these
periods, the volume exposed to the market would be reduced.
Today (Friday) is setting up with similar market conditions and extreme demand but significantly
more wind production is expected. Consequently, market prices are anticipated to be much lower
than on Tuesday and Thursday. We will be closely tracking today's supply portfolio performance
and keep you apprised of conditions, as needed.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Date: August 16, 2019 Report No. 2019-163
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Provide information on an industrial noise ordinance.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Currently, the City of Denton regulates noise by enforcing Texas Penal Code
§420 1(a)(5)(Disorderly Conduct) or in appropriate cases, Denton Code §17-20 (Noise in the
Denton Property Maintenance Code (DPMC)). The City is authorized to adopt a noise ordinance
that would limit the amount of industrial noise. However, adopting an objective noise standard
for industrial uses would not adequately address complaints. The City changed how it
prosecuted noise violations in 2014 by repealing noise standards for"industrial uses" and"Noise
Management Standards" for gas wells and replacing with a reference to state law in the
Development Code. The intent was to simplify the enforcement of noise complaints by using the
Texas disorderly conduct law, which requires only evidence that the activity produced an
"unreasonable noise" in a public place or someone's home.
BACKGROUND:
City Council requested information on May 21, 2019, regarding the addition of noise limits for
industrial uses to the City's noise ordinance. The City Code prevents general noises that either
have an intensity and volume so as to measure more than 65 dba at more than 50 feet from the
source or cause any physical or psychological distress. Construction noises are permissible only
between certain hours and radio and other musical devices from vehicles cannot be audible to
any person from more than 35 feet from the vehicle at 65 dba. Recently, City Council held a
work session regarding the noise produced by the Denton Energy Center and was provided
information on the noise levels produced by the facility. For reference, the sound level of the
plant at full operation was 70 dba.
DISCUSSION:
Following resident complaints about the noise produced by gas wells and Acme Brick on Fort
Worth Drive, the City repealed noise standards in 2014 for"industrial uses" and gas well "Noise
Management Standards" and replaced the industrial noise standards with a reference to Texas
Penal Code § 42.01(a)(5), which makes it a Class C misdemeanor to "intentionally or
knowingly"make "unreasonable noise in a public place. . . in or near a private residence." The
standard is whether the use or activity makes an unreasonable level of noise in a public place or
private home. To successfully prosecute, the complainant who was affected by the noise will
testify in court about how the noise was unreasonable.
The City's noise standards were repealed in 2014 because ordinances that impose objective noise
levels are more difficult to prosecute. The officer must use a sound-level meter to measure the
decibels. If the violator' is charged because the reading exceeds the ordinance standard, the
1 The City would have to charge a human person responsible for the industrial noise. In order to convict a
corporation,Texas Penal Code§7.22 requires the board or person in management produced,requested,or recklessly
tolerated the commission of the noise. Even if there is a clear violation,there must be proof of high level
involvement to obtain a successful jury verdict.
42
Date: August 16, 2019 Report No. 2019-163
violator could successfully defend the charge by arguing the decimeter reading was inaccurate or
that another use or activity, e.g., traffic, created the noise. Another issue is how sound travels.
Bass frequencies expand as they travel from the source of the noise. For example, many
homeowners east of Acme Brick and across the street from South Lakes Park complained of
walls and windows rattling from the base resulting from gas well drilling. However, from their
homes and from South Lakes Park, the police decimeter readings were below the maximum
decibel allowed by City ordinance. Therefore, it would be difficult for the City to prove a certain
industrial user or activity produced the noise measured by the sound-level meter.
Most important, if the reading does not exceed the standard, then the complainant has no remedy
under a noise ordinance. Therefore, the recommended course of action is to use the disorderly
conduct statute to prosecute noise violations.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Denton regulates industrial noise using Texas Penal Code §42.01(a)(5). If City
Council chooses to move forward in establishing noise standards for industrial uses, please note
that the problems resolved as part of the 2014 ordinance will likely resurface.

SUBJECT:
Street Outreach Team Information
PURPOSE:
An Informal Staff Report to provide information on the current level of service for the Street
Outreach Team compared to additional capabilities with the $64,600 supplemental budget
request.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
As described by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, "The goals of any effective crisis
response system are to identify those experiencing homelessness, prevent homelessness when
possible, connect people with housing quickly and provide supportive services when needed."
(Crisis Response: https:Hendhomelessness.or_/ending-homelessness/solutions/crisis-response/)
STREET OUTREACH IN THE HOUSING CRISIS RESPONSE SYSTEM
In Denton and throughout Denton County, our Housing Crisis Response System plan is to
achieve our goals through the following collaborative efforts:
• Street Outreach: Street outreach is a critical tool in our response to homelessness. Street
Outreach visits with people experiencing homelessness who are living unsheltered to
make contact and to build rapport with individuals who are not seeking assistance or are
not aware of services available. In addition to immediate care provided at the point of
contact, outreach seeks to perform Coordinated Entry assessments and get individuals
connected to community resources.
• Coordinated Entry (CE) and the HousingPy List (HPL): Denton has adopted and is
implementing a uniform process that is designed to quickly identify, assess, refer and
connect people in crisis to housing assistance and services. Households that complete the
CE assessment process are then included in the HPL and referred to the most appropriate
housing solution. Households are pulled off the HPL in order of priority status as housing
assistance becomes available.
• Diversion and Prevention: As the most cost effective of all solutions, diversion and
prevention are key components of our Housing Crisis Response System by reducing the
number of people who become homeless. Homeless prevention helps households stay in
their current housing situation while diversion prevents homelessness for people seeking
shelter by helping them identify immediate alternate housing arrangements and, when
necessary, connecting them with services.
• Emergency Shelters and Temporary Housing_ Emergency shelter and temporary housing
assists people experiencing a housing crisis or fleeing an unsafe situation to quickly find
a safe place to stay. Emergency and temporary housing are on a continuum of service
provision that align with the larger goals of being focused on moving people from
homeless to housing.
44
Date: August 16, 2019 Report No. 2019-164
• Permanent Housing: Without permanent housing, there is constant housing instability.
Our system includes a goal to increase our capacity to connect people experiencing
homelessness with permanent housing programs, such as rapid re-housing, permanent
supportive housing, and other stable permanent housing options.
STREET OUTREACH TEAM
The Street Outreach Team is a cross-sector collaborative team with representatives led by Giving
Hope, Inc., Vision Ministries, and other nonprofit agencies along with Denton Police officers
and a Denton Fire Paramedic conducting targeted outreach to individuals living unsheltered. The
team currently goes out two (2) to four (4) times a month visiting known encampments,
abandoned buildings and wooded areas. Their goal is to meet homeless individuals in their
environment, provide them with information on housing, employment, and benefit resources they
may qualify to receive, and connect them to resources.
Local outreach services have been successful in engaging people experiencing homelessness
unsheltered. In 2018, the Street Outreach Team engaged 116 individuals and entered 86
households into Coordinated Entry along with referrals to available services. However, that work
is limited to a visit only a few times a month and there are limited resources for some of the
highest needs.
People experiencing homelessness have greatly increased rates of mental illness and substance
abuse. With the Street Outreach Team's experience handling local outreach, reviewing existing
research, and learning first hand from other communities about evidenced-based strategies that
improve the goals of street outreach, additional tools associated with successful housing
outcomes have been identified. This includes increasing the frequency of outreach to individuals
living unsheltered and providing additional mental health case management support.
The proposal for supplemental funding is a response to that identified need. Using a
multidisciplinary outreach team approach, specifically increasing mental health support, has been
found to improve housing outcomes and stability. Specially, having a dedicated resource
attached to the Street Outreach Team would increase the frequency of outreach visits and provide
a person available for on-call outreach as needed. The proposed funding recommends that having
the mental health case management background would improve outcomes for individuals
experiencing homelessness who also have a mental health need. Focused consistent case
management (from outreach engagement, to housing transition, to housing maintenance) would
lead to improved outcomes for this population.Attachment I is the summary for Street Outreach
Team Expansion funding that was presented and included in the back-up materials for the May
21, 2019 work session presentation to Council.
DENTON COUNTY MHMR http://www.dentonmhmr.org/crisis.html
There is another resource in the community for outreach, but it is targeted to very specific severe
incidents of mental health crisis and is not limited to people experiencing homelessness. The
Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams (MCOTs) provide face-to-face clinical assessments to individuals
in crisis 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A MCOT consists of 2 individuals, a Qualified Mental
Health Professional, and a licensed professional. The licensed professional can either be a
45
Date: August 16, 2019 Report No. 2019-164
Licensed Professional of the Healing Arts or a Registered Nurse. The purpose of the clinical
assessment is to determine an individual's risk of harm to him/her self or to others, and to
determine the least restrictive treatment setting in which an individual can safely receive mental
health services.
MCOT like street outreach, emergency shelters, and other crisis services are the critical front line
in response to people in crisis, but MCOT is designed to address a severe crisis situation. The
Street Outreach Team extends beyond the moment of crisis to attend to the other parts of
outreach services. The Street Outreach Team is designed to establish ongoing supportive
relationships, give people advice and support, and enhance the possibility that they will access
necessary services and supports that will help them move off the streets. What is essential and
often necessary is building strong relationships over an extended period, which helps outreach
develop an understanding of the individual circumstances and needs of each individual, as well
as the barriers that may prevent people from accessing either mainstream services or those that
target people who experience homelessness.
Street outreach is a critical tool in our response to homelessness. The supplemental funding
request seeks to improve local outreach efforts to identify those experiencing homelessness
living unsheltered, build trusting relationships, connect them to resources, and more quickly
connect those with mental health care needs to specialized services to meet that need.

OUTREACH
Option — Provide Funding to Expand the Street Outreach Team
Estimated Cost $64,600
Objective Increase frequency of Street Outreach activity and provide housing-focused
mental health case management for individuals living unsheltered.
Description The Street Outreach Team is a cross-sector collaborative team with
representatives led by Giving Hope, Inc. and Denton Police that include Denton
County MHMR,Vision Ministries, and a Denton Fire Paramedic doing outreach two
(2)to four(4)times a month to individuals living unsheltered.Their goal is to meet
homeless individuals in their environment, provide them with information on
housing, employment, and benefit resources they may qualify to receive, and
connect them to resources. In 2018,the Street Outreach Team engaged 116
individuals and completed housing assessments with 86 households in
Coordinated Entry and referred them to available services.
Having dedicated resources to the Street Outreach Team would increase
frequency of outreach visits with a target to have the team perform outreach 4 to
8 times a month and be available for on-call need.The proposed additional
resource would have a mental health case management background to improve
outcomes for individuals experiencing homeless who also have mental health
needs. Focused and consistent case management (from outreach and
engagement,to housing transition,to housing maintenance)would lead to
improved outcomes for this population.
The following is a proposed description of this role:

hours and increase case management capacity
• Mental Health Case Manager(s) (MHCM) support households from
outreach and engagement, through housing transition into shelter and/or
permanent housing
• MHCM will work with households to refer to the most appropriate housing
resource, develop a housing plan, and assist with housing transition and
maintenance (up to three months)
• MHCM will advocate for clients with local providers and ensure success of
referrals and connection to services
• Collaborate with Denton County MHMR to ensure clients have access to
medication and necessary additional mental health services
Need • As of March 2019,there are 117 households experiencing chronic
homelessness

Memo, Appointing Board of Directors, August 06, 2019 Page 2
SELECTING A NOMINEE
AUTHORITATIVE GUIDELINES - The selection process is set forth in Section 6.03 of
the Property Tax Code. This process is not an "election" 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.
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 contract with the district or a taxing unit. A chief appraiser
may not employ someone closely related to a member of the board of directors".
TERM OF OFFICE —Those elected to the Board of Directors will serve a two year term
beginning January 1, 2020.
FREQUENCY OF MEETINGS - The applicable statutes require the board of directors to
meet not less often than once each calendar quarter.
