Dear Mayor Sutton,
The Guadalupe Appraisal District(G.A.D.)Board of Directors would like to move forward with plans to expand and
renovate the District's facilities (the expansion & renovation project). Design development of the expansion and
renovation project has been completed. A committee was formed to consider building alternatives and cost
estimates. On August 23`d, 24'x', and 30't', our office hosted a presentation and tour of our existing facility and
extended an invitation to you and your governing body to attend. The intent of this presentation and tour was to
show you and your governing body the needs of our district at this time. I would like to extend my sincere
appreciation to those entity representatives you sent for these presentations. They offered positive feedbacks and
concern for the need of our district. Before actual construction can begin, an entity approval process must be
considered.
Section 6.051(b) of the Texas Property Tax Code prescribes this approval process. The first step of the approval
process requires that the Board of Directors (B.O.D.) approve a resolution proposing the expansion and renovation
project. During the regular meeting of the B.O.D. held September 11, 2006, the B.O.D. approved a resolution
proposing the expansion&renovation project.
Upon approval of the proposal resolution, the chief appraiser is then required to notify the presiding officer of each
entities governing body of the approved resolution,which is the purpose of this letter. Enclosed you will find a copy
of the approved resolution.
Section 6.051(b) further states that upon receiving notification of the approved resolution, the governing body of
each taxing unit served by G.A.D. must approve or disapprove by way of resolution the proposed expansion and
renovation project no later than 30 days after receiving notification of the approved resolution. With that being
said, the B.O.D. respectfully request that an action item be placed upon your governing bodies agenda no
later than October 11, 2006 to approve a resolution of the proposed expansion and renovation project. Also
enclosed you will find a sample resolution that your governing body may use for the approval process.
Section 6.051(b)also requires that each entity file with the Chief Appraiser the resolution that was approved by the
governing body no later than October 21,2006.
An appraisal district representative and or a member of the Board of Directors will be available to attend the meeting
in which this resolution will be discussed and acted upon. Please notify our office as soon as possible, so
arrangements can be made,for district representation at these meetings.
Respect Submitted,
Jamie Osborne,R.P.A.
Chief Appraiser
