I am a resident of the Appraisal District (County) and have been for the past
24 years without interruption.
I am not an employee of any taxing unit that participates in the Appraisal
District. I am the Denton County Tax Assessor/Collector.
Please provide work or personal experiences that would be applicable to serve on the DCAD Board of
Directors.
I will have been serving the residents of Denton Countv professionally and as a
volunteer full time for the past 13 years, as of January 3, 2008. 1 began work as the
Chief Clerk for Justice of the Peace, Precinct 4 on January 3, 1995. 1 served one term
on the Flower Mound Town Council (1995 to 1997). 1 was Municipal Judge for the City
of Roanoke from July 1998 to March 2002. 1 have been a judge in the Denton Teen
Court since 1999. 1 also serve as a trustee for the Children's Trust Fund of the Denton
Noon Kiwanis Club, providing medical care for children in need. I am a Deacon in
Grace Baptist Church of Flower Mound.
In March 2002 1 was elected Denton County Tax Assessor/Collector. As Tax
Assessor/Collector it has been my privilege to serve all of the residents of Denton
County. I have met all of the State requirements to continue to hold the position of Tax
Assessor/Collector (a 5 year training program which I completed in just over 3 years.)
As Tax Assessor/Collector I oversee a staff of 60 in 4 (soon to be 5) offices and a
budget of about $3.5 million. Being the Tax Assessor/Collector I have an interest in all
parts of Denton County
The Tax Assessor/Collector serves on the DCAD Board of Directors as an Ex Oficio
member. As an Ex Oficio member of the Board, I do not have voting privileges. As Tax
Assessor/Collector I am often contacted by County residents with questions about
DCAD operations and with suggestions to address issues or questions, but without a
vote on the Board there is a limit to what I am able to accomplish.
It is my desire to serve as a full member of the DCAD Board of Directors.

million dollar sized projects and teams of business and computer consultants working at
large international client companies. Prior to IBM, Mr. Sprague served as an Executive
Consultant and Advisory Engineer with Pepsico and Frito-Lay, where he evaluated and
implemented new technologies as applied to business requirements and value returned.
He assisted in locating and building the current Frito-Lay Headquarters in the
southeastern comer of the county.
As a resident of Denton County for more than 28 years, Jack is familiar with the patterns
of growth and development in the area. Some better planned and foreseen than others,
and the results of the unforeseen explosive development. He understands and can
efficiently evaluate the dynamics of the county's development, while still providing the
insights to balance property values, current and future, with the personal rights of
ownership, self-determination and quality of life, preserved for our citizens and
neighbors.
Mr. Sprague holds strongly to the belief that taxes should be held at a minimum, and that
property taxes in particular must not go up "just -because" or "to catch-up with inflation."
Rather than treat the county with broad stokes only, he feels that their must be a fair
valuation of all property in the county, with each individual case considered as
completely and fairly as possible.

Dear Mayor Tate:
My name is Dwayne Gentsch and you may recall seeing the attached letter that recently went out
to your city on my behalf from the City of Garland, which nominated me to serve on the Board of
Directors of the Dallas Central Appraisal District. The Board of Directors is made up of five
members, one of which represents all thirty cities served by the Appraisal District.
While there are several individuals seeking this position, l believe my previous experience as a
Garland city council member, my understanding of the appraisal process; and my pledge to be
more than a representative in name only is what sets me apart from the other candidates. As
your representative, I will file regular briefs back to Grapevine and the other city/town councils this
position represents regarding the activities of the Appraisal District. I will also be available to
address any appraisal -related matters where my assistance is needed and warranted.
Your city should have received a ballot from the Dallas Central Appraisal District, who has
requested action, via an official resolution, by December 15, 2007. 1 hope to have your support in
this important, albeit not very visible, position and look forward to having the opportunity to be
your voice on the Dallas Central Appraisal District's Board of Directors.
I will be making every effort to visit with members of your council prior to any action taken on this
item. I encourage you to contact me at 972.2712120 if you have any questions regarding my
candidacy.
Sincerely,
