Regular Council Meeting September 25, 2023 Page 8 City Clerk Janice Ellis explained that every two years the City was asked to provide the Chief Appraiser the nominate someone as a City representative to serve on the Lamar County Appraisal District Board. She said the City had 614 votes and they could nominate more than one person but it might mean they would not get a representative on the Board. Ms. Ellis said there were twelve taxing entities and only five board member positions. Council Member Pilgrim said he thought they might want to look at getting a representative on the board that knew about real estate and surveying due to the complaints received throughout about the property values. It was a consensus of City Council for Mayor Pro -Tem Pankaj and Council Member Pilgrim to work together to recruit a nominee and bring the name back to the Council.
