Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve the reappointment of Justin C. Allred as Justice Court Precinct Five Pro Tempore; the reappointment of Gary Douglas Jr., as county-wide Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore for emergency or temporary coverage pursuant to A.R.S. § 22-121, effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
Background:
The court is required to appoint and annually reappoint 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 in the event of a conflict affecting all Justices of the Peace in Cochise County. Without reappointment, the terms for these Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore would end on June 30, 2026.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Appointment of Justices of the Peace Pro Tempore by the Presiding Judge of the Arizona Superior Court in Cochise County.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
No temporary or emergency coverage would be available in the Justice Courts, which could lead to delays in hearings and the resolution of cases.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
