Request by the Office of County Administration for approval to authorize the Harris County Flood Control District to submit a request for conservation and reclamation districts to nominate and vote for candidates in the Harris Central Appraisal District's upcoming director elections, in accordance with Tax Code Sections 6.03(c) and 6.0301(c).

Background and Discussion:
Under state law, conservation and reclamation districts (CRDs) are not entitled to nominate and cast votes for candidates in the Harris Central Appraisal District's director elections unless at least one CRD within the Appraisal District delivers a written participation request to the Chief Appraiser by June 1st of each odd-numbered year. This item would authorize the delivery of such a request on behalf of the Harris County Flood Control District, a CRD. Additional action relating to the director elections will be brought for the Court's consideration and possible action in the coming months.

Approval of the resolution guarantees the Flood Control District's entitlement to nominate and vote for candidates in the upcoming Appraisal District director elections as provided by state law.
