Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes regarding sanitary districts. It outlines requirements for board of directors, including qualifications, term lengths, and election procedures. The bill also addresses the conversion of smaller districts governed by county supervisors into districts with their own boards of directors, and sets compensation limits for directors, with adjustments tied to the consumer price index. It clarifies appointment procedures for vacancies on the board.
Key provisions
- Sanitary districts with an area of 160 acres or more must have a board of directors with at least three members.
- Directors must be qualified electors and are divided into classes for staggered terms.
- Smaller districts (under 160 acres) are governed by the county board of supervisors.
- A district can convert to a district with its own board if 25% of electors petition for it.
- Directors receive a monthly stipend of up to $363, plus travel expenses, with adjustments based on the consumer price index.
