Summary

A requested solid-waste fee exemption for Auto-Tek LLC on Sheridan was presented and recommended for denial by the appraiser's office; the commission deferred final action and directed the county appraiser to consult with peer counties before returning with a recommendation.

Tammi Cox, County Clerk, presented a request from Auto-Tek LLC on Sheridan for a solid-waste fee exemption. The appraiser's office recommended denying the exemption based on the commission's criteria, and commissioners agreed to defer decision-making until Truette McQueen, County Appraiser, could consult with other counties about how they handle similar exemptions.

Truette McQueen joined the meeting by phone later in the agenda and the commission reiterated that McQueen should speak with appraisers in other counties before the commission votes on the exemption. No motion to approve the exemption was recorded; the matter remains under review with follow-up directed to the appraiser.
