Representatives for the Guadalupe Appraisal District asked Navarro ISD trustees for support to purchase and renovate 216 E. College Street in Seguin. Peter Snaddon, introduced by Seguin council representative Jim Lievens, presented financial figures to trustees during the May 19 meeting.
Snaddon cited a purchase price of $1,895,000 and a Total Probable Project Cost estimate of $8,401,765, saying final costs would be offset in part by sale of the appraisal district's current building. The district noted Navarro ISD’s current share of the appraisal district budget is 5.838, which the minutes show equals $285,130. Board member Lacey Gosch moved to approve the resolution; Becki Stephenson seconded. The motion carried 6–0 with Board President Melissa Sartain recorded as abstaining. Board materials and the speakers noted that final authority also requires affirmative votes from 75% of taxing units entitled to vote on board-member appointments.
