The Dimmit County Commissioners Court addressed how to cast its 207 allotted votes for seats on the Dimmit County Appraisal District Board of Directors. Historically the county has concentrated votes to secure a seat on the board, the county judge said.

Commissioners debated whether to split votes among commissioners or to concentrate the entire allocation on one candidate to preserve a county seat. Multiple motions were made to cast the full 207 votes on specific nominees and commissioners recorded opposition or abstentions during the roll call.

After motions, seconds and recorded objections, the court approved a motion to cast the county’s full 207 votes on a single nominee; the motion carried.
