Mr. Taylor explained there was a fixed pool of votes set up in the statue for the entire board which are distributed amoung the taxing entities dependent upon their levy. that is the amount of revenue they generate using property taxation. Mr. Taylor stated this changes annually. Mr. Taylor stated there are areas of the County where taxable value growth exceeds that of the City and the City's votes continue to decrease. Mr. Taylor said all the school districts and the county have one vote and the city does not have the number of votes needed to make our own complete vote without borrowing from another entity. Mr. Taylor stated the ideal situation would be if the pool is a fixed pool of votes and if the tax levy for the school districts drop then their power to designate or vote for CAD Board Members would decrease, which mayor may not be passed by the legislature.
