11. FIX THE SALARIES OF CONSTABLES TO BE ELECTED FOR THE FOUR-YEAR PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE FIRST DAY OF JANUARY, 2025 AND INCREASE THE SALARY OF THE IRONWOOD CONSTABLE. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-424.01 (A) fix the salaries of the Constables in 9 justice precincts. Pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-424.01 (C)(5), fix the salaries of Constables in Country Meadows, Highland, Moon Valley, San Tan Justice Precincts at $55,000 and the Arcadia Biltmore, Desert Ridge, Dreamy Draw, Maryvale, and North Mesa Justice Precincts at $75,000 commencing four-year terms on January 1, 2025. Constables in these precincts set for salary adjustments serve an average of more than 100 documents per year over the previous four years and have more than 16,000 registered voters. The Constables will return to the Board with additional action to adjust the FY2025 budget based on the outcome of the election.

Pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-424.01 (C)(4), increase the salary of the Constable in the Ironwood Justice Precinct to $41,000 effective July 1, 2024. The Constable in this precinct serves an average of more than 100 documents per year over the previous four years and has twelve thousand or more registered voters but fewer than sixteen thousand.
