10. DESIGNATION AND CANCELLATION OF QUEEN CREEK COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT ELECTION AND APPOINTMENT TO OFFICE Designate Queen Creek County Fire District as defined under Title 48 within Maricopa County which qualifies for alternate procedure for electing the district governing board members for terms of office. Cancel the May 19, 2015 election for governing board members in the Queen Creek County Fire District and appoint those candidates to serve the specified terms as governing board members. The Arizona Legislature offers an alternate procedure for electing the governing board members of a special district as defined under Title 48 (A.R.S. § 16-410). If the total number of persons who file a nomination petition as of February 18, 2015, or write in nomination paper as of March 04, 2015, is equal to or less than the number of positions to be filled for each office to be elected at the election, the County Board of Supervisors is authorized to cancel the election. The Board of Supervisors is also authorized to appoint those persons who filed a nomination petition or write in nomination paper to serve as a governing board member for the respective term. A person who is appointed pursuant to this section is fully vested with the powers and duties of the offices as if elected to that office. Also, declare vacant those positions where no nomination petitions for a candidate and no nominations for a write-in candidate have been filed to fill the position for which the election is being held. Such position shall be filled in accordance with laws governing the filling of those vacancies. Queen Creek County Fire District qualifies for this action, the list of offices and candidates is on file in the Clerk of the Board’s office and retained in accordance with Arizona State Library Archives and Public Records (ASLAPR) approved retention schedule.
