Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the appointment of Gary Douglas, Zachary Forman, and Nathaniel Redmon, as county-wide Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore for emergency or temporary coverage pursuant to ARS §22-121; and approve authorization to call upon an appropriately appointed Justice of the Peace Pro Tempore from another county in extenuating circumstances pursuant to ARS §22-122, effective December 23, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
Background:
The court is required to appoint Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore with the approval of the Board of Supervisors. This includes the approval to call upon a Justice of the Peace from another county when there is a conflict between the Justices of the Peace in Cochise County.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Appointment of Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore by Presiding Judge of Cochise County.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Where no other elected justice of the peace is available or otherwise able to conduct a necessary hearing, there would be no coverage generating delays in court proceedings.
