Board declines to nominate candidates now for Hidalgo County Appraisal District board; deadline Oct. 15 noted

The Mercedes ISD Board of Trustees declined to nominate candidates for the Hidalgo County Appraisal District (HCAD) Board of Directors on Tuesday and chose to take no action at the meeting, noting an Oct. 15 filing deadline. During the governance section the board chair asked whether members wished to submit names. A trustee asked whether the item could be tabled to allow more time; board members noted the Oct. 15 deadline and then agreed to take no action at that meeting. No nominations were submitted or recorded. The board did not set an alternate date for nominations during the meeting, but members discussed bringing the item back at a later meeting to allow time for further consideration.
