Burkburnett board awards all 46 appraisal‑district votes to Jeff Kent
Summary
The board debated whether to split its 46 votes for the Witchaw Appraisal District ballot but ultimately voted unanimously to allocate all 46 votes to Jeff Kent.
During consideration of Resolution 791 — the board's ballot for the Witchaw Appraisal District board of directors — commissioners discussed splitting votes between two nominated individuals. One commissioner proposed splitting the city's 46 votes between Jeff Kent and another listed candidate; after discussion about familiarity with candidates, a subsequent motion was made "that we place all 46 of our votes with Jeff Kent." That motion passed unanimously.
A commissioner asked how an unfamiliar candidate had been placed on the ballot; staff answered that other entities may have nominated that person. The board recorded no dissent on awarding all votes to Jeff Kent.
What happens next: staff will cast the city's votes as recorded on the appraisal‑district ballot.
