Council nominates Robert Haverley for Cherokee Central Appraisal District ballot

The Jacksonville City Council nominated Robert Haverley Sept. 9 to appear on the ballot for five openings on the Cherokee Central Appraisal District (CCAD) board.

Staff explained the CCAD process: jurisdictions submit up to five nominees and a signed nominee statement must be furnished to the chief appraiser by Oct. 15. The city has an allotted number of ballots to cast based on its share of the county property-tax levy; staff said the city could submit nominees at tonight's meeting or wait until the Oct. 14 meeting but warned the signed nominee statement deadline could make a later submission challenging.

Councilman Rob Goen moved to nominate Robert Haverley; Mayor Pro Tem Tim McCray seconded. Council approved the nomination by voice vote. Staff said it would place the name on the municipal submission and follow the CCAD process for the October election of board members.

Staff reviewed eligibility rules and reminded council that the appraisal district board reviews budgets and administration but does not set property values or appraisal methodology.
