RESOLUTION NO. 2022-50
A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF PROSPER,
TEAXAS, DISAPPROVING THE DENTON CENTRAL APPRAISAL DISTRICT
("DCAD") 2023 BUDGET AS APPROVED BY THE DCAD BOARD OF
DIRECTORS; MAKING FINDINGS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, in January 2022, the Denton County Commissioners Court called on the
Denton Central Appraisal District Board of Directors ("DCAD Board") to review the operations of
the Denton Central Appraisal District ("DCAD"), and in response, an outside consultant, Western
Valuation and Consulting ("Consultant"), was retained to review DCAD operations and provide
a report; and
WHEREAS, at the June 23, 2022, meeting of the DCAD Board, Consultant provided a
presentation to allow the DCAD Board to review the challenges and opportunities that DCAD
has faced and will face in the upcoming years, including operations, facilities, and personnel
needs, and the proposed 2023 budget to fund DCAD; and
WHEREAS, the DCAD Board took action on July 28, 2022, to adopt its 2023 budget; and
WHEREAS, as a representative of the public and as a Denton County taxing entity, it is
an obligation of the Prosper Town Council to ensure that DCAD, as an entity entrusted with tax
dollars, operates at optimum levels with efficiency; that the DCAD budget reflects funding
necessary to fairly meet its operational needs; and that the DCAD budget allows DCAD to
provide the level of service necessary to provide good service for Denton County taxpayers; and
WHEREAS, after adoption of the 2023 budget by the DCAD Board, each Denton County
taxing unit has one (1) vote that it may cast via resolution to disapprove the DCAD budget and
such action must be taken within thirty (30) days of the date of adoption of the DCAD budget or
the DCAD budget will be deemed automatically approved; and
WHEREAS, based upon the information provided by Consultant and the budget
proposed by DCAD, the Town Council has determined that the proposed DCAD budget does
not serve the interests of the Town's constituents and has determined it appropriate to adopt this
Resolution disapproving the 2023 DCAD budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF
PROSPER, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1
The findings set forth above are incorporated into the body of this Resolution as if fully set
