Request/Subject

Adoption of Resolution No. 13-11-07 regarding the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District

Background Information

The Gila County Elections Department recently received resignation letters from five members of the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District (PSWID) governing board. A copy of the board members' resignation letters are attached to this item.

Evaluation

The Board of Supervisors has statutory authority to take action with regard to the PSWID.

Conclusion

A.R.S. §48-1016 authorizes that the Board of Supervisors "may at any time revoke the authority of an elected board of directors in order to protect the residents of the district."

A.R.S. § § 48-1016 and 48-908 gives the Board of Supervisors authority to revoke the power of the PSWID governing board and to govern the PSWID as its Board of Directors.

A.R.S. §48-1016 also gives the Board of Supervisors acting as the PSWID Board of Directors authority to call for new elections for the PSWID Board of Directors.

Recommendation

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt Resolution No. 13-11-07.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Resolution No. 13-11-07 accepting the resignations of five (5) governing board members of the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District (PSWID); revoking the authority of the PSWID; naming the Gila County Board of Supervisors as the Board of Directors for the PSWID; and reserving the authority to call for new elections for the PSWID.
