The board is composed of six members who serve two-year terms, all of <br />which expire December 31, 2009. This memorandum describes the process of selecting directors <br />for the two-year term that begins January I, 20 10. <br /> <br />Participating Units <br />The current method of selecting directors was established by resolutions of the county, cities, <br />and school districts participating in the appraisal district in 1981, and modified in 1991 after the <br />law was changed to provide a voting entitlement to conservation and reclamation districts. Sec. <br />6.031, Tax Code, authorizes an appraisal district to vary both the size and the method of <br />selecting its board members. <br /> <br />The six members of the Harris County Appraisal District's board of directors are selected as <br />follows: <br /> <br />· One member appointed by the Harris County Commissioners Court. <br />. One member appointed by the Houston City Council. <br />· One member appointed by the board of trustees of the Houston Independent School District. <br />· One member appointed by votes of the city councils of the cities other than Houston. Each <br />city council casts a single vote. The candidate who receives the most votes is elected. <br />· One member appointed by vote of the boards of trustees of the school districts other than <br />Houston Independent School District. Each board casts a single vote. The candidate who <br />receives the most votes is elected. <br />· One member appointed by vote of the governing bodies of those conservation and <br />reclamation districts that levied a property tax in 2009 and also plan to levy in 20 10. Each <br />body casts a single vote. The candidate who receives the most votes is elected. <br />
