18. APPOINT SUPERIOR COURT COMMISSIONER AS SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE PRO TEMPORE In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-141, approve the appointment of Court Commissioner Lori A. Ash as a Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore in accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-141. The appointment will be for the period commencing June 20, 2016 through June 30, 2017. In order to obtain greater flexibility in the use of Court Commissioners, the Superior Court customarily has all Court Commissioners appointed as Superior Court Judges Pro Tempore so they may, on occasion, hear contested matters. This serves the interest of judicial economy and promotes sound caseflow management. Court Commissioner Lori A. Ash would serve as a Superior Court Judge Pro Tempore without any additional compensation other than that to which she is entitled as a Court Commissioner. (C-80-16-016-2-00)
