Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975 Telephone 713-683-9200 The Honorable Norman L Malone Mayor, City of La Porte P. O. Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77572-1115 Dear Mayor Malone: The Harris County Appraisal District is governed by a five-member Board selected pursuant to the provisions of the Property Tax Code and resolutions adopted in 1981 by more than three-fourths of the voting taxing units in Harris County. One of these five directors is selected by the governing bodies of all incorporated cities and towns, excluding the city of Houston. These cities are currently in the process of selecting their representative to the Board for the two-year term beginning January 1, 1990. The initial step in the selection process was nomination. The deadline for our receipt of nominations was October 16, 1989. It is now your city's right and responsibility to vote for the nominee you desire to serve on the Board. For this purpose, we have prepared the attached ballot listing alphabetically the candidates nominated by the cities. The governing body of each city is entitled to one vote for the candidate of its choice from the names appearing on the ballot. The vote must be by resolution. The resolution, or a certified copy thereof, together with the completed ballot, shall be delivered to the Office of the Chief Appraiser at 2800 North Loop West, Houston, Texas 77092, or P. O. Box 920975, Houston, Texas 77292-0975, on or before Wednesday, November 15, 1989. On or before November 30, 1989, the Chief Appraiser will count the votes cast and declare elected the candidate who receives the highest number of votes. The results of the election will be submitted to the governing body of each voting taxing unit and to the candidates nominated. A tie vote will be resolved by a method of chance chosen by the Chief Appraiser. To assist you in the election procedure, I have enclosed a suggested form of resolution for casting the governing body's vote for the candidate of its choice. Both the resolution and the ballot should be delivered to my office by November 15,1989.
