Little Creek Land Company Domestic Water Improvement District Governing Board Member Resignations and Appointments.

Background Information

ARS 48-1012(C) provides that if a vacancy in the district board occurs due to death or disability or any other cause other than resignation, the board of directors of the district shall appoint a qualified elector of the district to fill the office for the remaining portion of that term. If there is a vacancy in the district board due to resignation, the district board shall accept the resignation and appoint a qualified elector to fill the remaining portion of that term of office.

On May 12, 2009, the Board of Supervisors created the Little Creek Land Company Domestic Water Improvement District. The District consisted of one parcel of land (Gila County tax parcel number 303-08-005A) which was owned by the Cheney Family. The original Governing Board members were Cynthia Cheney, Jon Cheney and David Cheney.

In December 2012, the parcel of land was purchased by Los Padres Limited Partnership. The Partnership submitted a resolution dated December 18, 2012, appointing new governing board members.

Evaluation

In a resolution dated December 18, 2012, the Los Padres Limited Partnership agreed to appoint Keith N. Layton to complete the term of Cynthia Cheney which expires December 31, 2016; appoint K. Aaron Layton to complete the term of Jon Cheney which expires December 31, 2014; appoint Adam Layton to complete the term of David Cheney which expires December 31, 2016. These three appointments will reflect the new governing board for the Little Creek Land Company Domestic Water Improvement District.

Conclusion

Due to new ownership of Gila County tax parcel number 303-08-005A;

Keith N. Layton has agreed to complete the term of office, which expires Dec. 31, 2016

K. Aaron Layton has agreed to complete the term of office, which expires Dec. 31, 2014

Adam Layton has agreed to complete the term of office, which expires Dec. 31, 2016

Recommendation

Aaron Layton and Adam Layton as the new governing board members of the Little Creek Land Company Domestic Water Improvement District to fill unexpired terms of office.
