Box 400 Paris, TX 75461-0400 <br />BOARD OF DIRECTORS Chief Appraiser Stephanie Lee, RPA, CCA <br />Clifton Fendley, Chairman Director of Collections Pat Loven, RTA <br />Don Biard, Secretary <br />David Dunmon Director of Operations Sue Shelton, RPA <br />Kenneth Kohls <br />Marcus Wood <br />September 7, 2023 <br />Dear Taxing Unit, <br />It is time for the tax units of Lamar County to elect members to the Appraisal District's Board of <br />Directors. As the election administrator for this process, I must notify you of the timetable, each tax <br />unit's votes based on the 2022 tax levies and give your tax unit the right to nominate a member or <br />members to the board. Please see that this is passed on to your Presiding Officer -a requirement of law. <br />Per state law, we have five members of the Board of Directors. There are no staggered terms, <br />so all board member positions are up for election. Your tax unit has the right to nominate, by resolution <br />of your governing body, up to five people. There is no requirement for you to nominate anyone if you <br />do not want to do so. Any person living in Lamar County and who has been a resident of this county for <br />the past two years is eligible to serve. Employees of tax units other than elected officials are not eligible <br />for board service. <br />The members of the current Board are not automatically nominated so if your tax unit wishes to <br />re -nominate them, please feel free to do so or nominate anyone else that you wish. The board <br />members who are willing to continue to serve are: Clifton Fendley, David Dunmon, Kenneth Kohis, Don <br />Biard. <br />The nominations should be returned to me at the appraisal district address by October 15, 2023. <br />1 will prepare a ballot and return it to your tax unit. Your tax unit will then be able to cast votes for as <br />many nominees as they wish or cast all votes for a single nominee. The actual vote must be done by <br />resolution of your tax unit in an open meeting between October 31 and December 15. The resolution <br />should be returned to me as soon as it is completed. The successful board members will be announced <br />by December 20 and will be sworn in at the first meeting in 2024. <br />1 have enclosed a resolution that you may use for the nominations process. If you have any <br />questions about the elections process, feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />Chief Appraiser <br />Enclosure <br />
