Agenda Item Text:
Approve the appointment of Ms. Julia Rivera and Ms. Cornelia Munoz, qualified electors to fill the two vacancies on the Pirtleville Fire District Board, pursuant to A.R.S. § 48-803, effective immediately for terms ending in 2024.
Background:
It has come to the attention of the Board of Supervisors that the Pirtleville Fire District does not currently have a quorum due to death, and expiration of term. Per statute below the Board of Supervisors wishes to appoint qualified electors (all were verified by the Recorder’s Office) to ensure a quorum of the Pirtleville Fire District and ensure the continued operation of the Pirtleville Fire District.
48-803. District administered by a district board; report
B. If a vacancy occurs on the district board other than from expiration of a term, a quorum of the board members shall fill the vacancy by appointment of an interim member and except for a district formed pursuant to article 3 of this chapter, a quorum of the board members shall fill the vacancy within ninety days after the date the vacancy occurs. Except for a district formed pursuant to article 3 of this chapter, if the quorum of district board members do not appoint an interim member within that ninety-day period, the board of supervisors shall appoint an interim member to the district board within sixty days after expiration of the ninety-day period, and if the district is located in more than one county, the board of supervisors of the county in which the majority of the assessed valuation of the district is located shall make the appointment after the expiration of the ninety-day period. If the entire board resigns or for any reason cannot fulfill its duties, or does not have remaining board members sufficient to constitute a quorum of the board, the board of supervisors shall appoint interim district board members to fill the vacancies, or an administrator to administer the district with the same duties and obligations of the elected board to serve until the next election. A majority of the board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business
