Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the request of the Whetstone Water Improvement District (WWID) to authorize a mail-ballot recall election, pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-558(A) and an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with WWID for Election Services and Supplies.
Background:
Late last year, a recall election of three governing board members was initiated by voters in the Whetstone Water Improvement District (WWID). In order to save the WWID taxpayers' money, the WWID governing Board voted pursuant to A.R.S. § 16-225(D) to authorize a mail-ballot election. The WWID Board now needs the formal approval of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors in order to authorize the mail-ballot election.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
N/A
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The WWID would be required to hold a standard election, which would cost the District's taxpayers a great deal more money.
