Wimberley ISD board extends delinquent tax-collection contract with Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott
Summary
The Wimberley ISD Board approved an extension of its contingent fee delinquent tax-collection contract with Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott following a presentation on collection procedures and a public comment from Hays County counsel requesting consideration to assume the service.
The Wimberley Independent School District Board of Trustees voted July 21 to adopt written findings and extend a contingent fee delinquent tax-collection contract with Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP (PBFCM) under Section 6.30 of the Tax Code. The motion, made by Ken Strange and seconded by Chad Canine, passed 6–0 with one member absent.
During the public forum, Tracie Zelhart, attorney for Hays County, asked the Board to consider allowing Hays County to assume delinquent tax collection for the district, saying she had come to "present her qualifications" and "asked the Board to extend the current contract to allow Hays County to take over these services." Earlier in the meeting, Sergio Garcia of PBFCM reviewed the firm's delinquent tax procedures, the annual tax calendar and which accounts are eligible for payment agreements versus suit preparation.
Board members did not record a roll-call comparison of PBFCM's results versus a county takeover in the minutes; the motion as adopted references statutory authority and the posted notice under Section 2254 of the Government Code. The extension was approved as a matter of contract authority; the minutes do not specify any change to fee rates, term length beyond extension language, or an implementation timeline.
