OK. DID WE GET TO THE OPEN? LET ME MAKE SURE I'VE GOT EVERYTHING CHECKED.

[H. OPEN FORUM TO ADDRESS THE BOARD]

NO ONE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON THE GENERAL TOPICS, SO WE'LL GO TO CURRENT TOPICS.

FOR THOSE SIGNED UP TO SPEAK ON REGARDING A TOPIC ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS LIMITED IN THIS FORUM.

INDIVIDUALS MAY BE GIVEN BETWEEN ONE TO THREE MINUTES FOR THEIR COMMENTS, DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS ASSIGNED TO SPEAK FOR THE OPEN FORUM PORTION OF THE MEETING, BASED ON THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS WHO'VE SIGNED UP.

EACH WILL BE GIVEN THE FULL THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK, AND WE START OFF WITH MR. MARTINEZ IF YOU WOULD START OFF WITH YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

THERE'LL BE A CLOCK THAT WILL BE ON THE VIDEO BOARD BEHIND ME.

WELL, I WAS HOPING FOR THE ADJOURNMENT THAT WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO TALK, SO GOOD EVENING BOARD I AM J.R. MARTINEZ AND I'M A CURRENT APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER AND RUNNING FOR REELECTION FOR THE TAD BOARD.

SO THIS EVENING, YES, I WILL BE ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE, BUT JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT MYSELF.

MY PARENTS MOVED TO HALTOM CITY IN 1956, SO I WAS HERE IN HALTOM CITY FOR SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE MOVING AND I'M ALSO PASS FORT WORTH ISD TRUSTEE AND PAST PRESIDENT OF THE GREATER FORT WORTH ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.

NOW I DID SAY YES, I WOULD BE ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE THIS EVENING FOR THE TARRANT APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD, BUT I THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE DONE THIS PAST YEAR, SOME OF THE SOME OF THE WINS THAT WE'VE HAD.

AS A TEAM, YOU KNOW, WE DEFINITELY WORK TOGETHER.

YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE OUR DISCUSSIONS, BUT WE DO WORK TOGETHER.

SO JUST GIVE YOU THE BRIEF UPDATE, TAD CERTIFIED THE 2021 APPRAISAL ROLL EARLY ON JULY 22ND, AND TAD HAS CERTIFIED THE ROLL ON TIME FOR OVER THE PAST 13 YEARS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, IN 2021 TAD PROCESSED OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND TAXPAYER AND AGENT PROTEST.

TAD ACCURATELY AND TIMELY TRANSMITTED MONTHLY DATA UPDATES TO TAX OFFICES IN TARRANT.

JOHNSON, DENTON, DALLAS AND PARKER COUNTIES, IN ADDITION TO THAT, RECENTLY TAD IMPLEMENTED AN ONLINE HOME STATE APPLICATION PROCESS, WHICH ALLOWS PROPERTY OWNERS TO FILE FOR EXEMPTIONS WITHOUT THE NEED TO COME INTO THE OFFICE.

[00:20:01]

ONE OF THE BIG WINS IS THAT TAD WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK FOR IN FORT WORTH BY FORT WORTH INC.

MAGAZINE. TAD WAS RANKED 70, WAS RANKED TWENTY SEVEN OUT OF 40.

SO BOARD, I'VE BEEN ON THE TAD BOARD FOR ONE YEAR.

I'VE FILLED IN FOR JOHN MOLINEAUX, WHO HAD TO RESIGN.

AND THIS PAST YEAR DEFINITELY WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

AND BY LEARNING EXPERIENCE, YOU THAT HAVE BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW, YOU SEE, TAKES ONE YEAR TO GET THROUGH THE BOARD TO KIND OF LEARN ABOUT IT.

THE SECOND YEAR YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID, THIRD YEAR YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD. I HOPE FOR YOUR VOTE THIS EVENING AND I APPRECIATE ALL THAT YOU DO.

SEEING THE KIDS THIS EVENING REMIND ME OF THE TIME THAT I WAS ON THE FORT WORTH ISD BOARD SO GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

HAVE A GREAT EVENING. WHEN WERE YOU ON THE FORT WORTH ISD BOARD? THAT WAS IN 2012.

I BELIEVE SO. 2012? YOU WERE ON THERE FOR. IT WAS A ONE YEAR APPOINTMENT.

OK, OK. SORRY, I HAD FORGOTTEN THAT.

SO YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NEXT IS MR. LOSADA.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND GIVING YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS.

GOOD EVENING, MR. PRESIDENT, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS GARY LOSADA, AND I RESIDE AT 802 DOVE CREEK TRAIL, SOUTH LAKE, TEXAS.

I ALSO AM A SITTING MEMBER OF THE TARRANT APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

I'M JUST COMPLETING MY SECOND YEAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS OR NOT, BUT IT'S A RARE TREAT TO SEE TWO TAD BOARD MEMBERS AT THE SAME MEETING OTHER THAN OUR OWN OUR OWN MEETING. AND THE REASON WHY I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY ALL IN COMPETITION AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.

WE'RE HERE TO TRY TO COMPLEMENT ONE ANOTHER.

SO I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND VERY QUICKLY.

I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE FROM STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN EDUCATION.

I HAVE WORKED AS A ASSISTANT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.

I WORKED TO AS THE ASSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER, PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA.

I WAS DIRECTOR OF DALLAS AREA RAPID TRANSIT IN THE FIELD OF ADMINISTRATION.

I ALSO SERVED SIX YEARS ON THE TARRANT APPRAISAL REVIEW BOARD, WHICH IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAN THE APPRAISAL DISTRICT BOARD.

MAYBE SOME OF YOU WERE EVEN IN ONE OF MY PANELS.

I HOPE NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE A VOTE, BUT I HAVE LITERALLY CHAIRED THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF HEARINGS ON PROPERTY VALUATIONS, SO I HAVE A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE THAT I CAN BRING BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE, EDUCATION AND ALL THESE OTHER TYPE THINGS.

MR. MARTINEZ WAS KIND ENOUGH TO SHARE SOME OF THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

SINCE I'VE BEEN THERE FOR TWO YEARS, THERE'S BEEN A FEW MORE.

WHEN I FIRST WAS SWORN IN IN JANUARY OF 202, I WALKED IN AND I WAS SORT OF SURPRISED.

THERE WAS NO AMERICAN FLAG, NO TEXAS FLAG, NO PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AND NO INVOCATION.

BY THE SECOND MEETING, ALL OF THAT TOOK PLACE.

NOW I'M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU THAT I DESERVE ALL THE CREDIT FOR THAT TAKES THREE MEMBERS TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN, BUT WE DID MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

WE'RE IN A TRANSITION MODE, IN MY OPINION.

WE HAVE BECOME MUCH MORE TRANSPARENT THAN WE HAVE IN THE PAST.

BOARD AGENDAS ARE PUBLISHED ACCORDING TO STATE LAW.

BUT WE ALSO NOW IN ADVANCE OF BOARD MEETINGS, WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A PACKET INFORMATION SO YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEING SAID AND HOW IT'S BEING SAID AND WHY.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, MEETINGS ARE NOW BROADCAST LIVE BEFORE YOU'D ALMOST HAVE TO FILE AN OPEN MEETINGS OR, EXCUSE ME, A PUBLIC INFORMATION REQUEST TO GET THAT THAT INFORMATION, THAT NO LONGER EXIST.

YOU CAN HEAR US LIVE AND THE AGENDA IS READY FOR YOU TO VIEW, AS WELL AS THE MINUTES WITHIN 24 HOURS.

THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE GONE ON.

I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT THING AND THEN I'LL SIT DOWN. THOUGH I HAVE A LOT MORE.

IN 2019, OUR BOARD HAD A RESIDUAL BUDGET OF $850000.

WE RETURNED ALL THAT MONEY.

I SEE IT. I'LL BE JUST TO TWO MORE SENTENCES, OK? WE REFUNDED ALL THAT MONEY BACK TO THE TAXING ENTITIES AT THE END OF 2020.

WE HAD A ONE POINT TWENTY FIVE MILLION RESIDUAL BUDGET THAT ALSO WAS REFUNDED BACK TO THE TAXING ENTITIES.

SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOUR BOARD.

IF YOU APPOINT US AGAIN, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO BE GOOD STEWARDS.

I WOULD BE HAPPY IF WE COULD SPLIT OUR VOTES.

THAT WOULD ENSURE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TWO QUALIFIED PEOPLE RETURNING TO THE BOARD.

THANK YOU. THANKS, MR. LOSADA. AND MR. BASKERVILLE LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BACK UP WITH YOU, SIR.

[00:25:02]
