Lou Svetlik’s resignation

The chairman of the Victoria County Central Appraisal District board is set to step down, confirmed Chief Appraiser Keri Wickliffe on Tuesday. Lou Svetlik’s resignation may be accepted after a discussion among board members, and they will convene today at 4 p.m. In an April meeting, Svetlik was the sole dissenting vote against initiating a third-party audit by the International Association of Assessing Officers to review the district’s procedures for property value assessment. Svetlik argued that the state comptroller’s biennial review provided a comprehensive analysis.
