Maricopa County Cecil P. Ash NORTH MESA JUSTICE COURT North Mesa Justice of the Peace 1837 S. Mesa Drive, Suite B-103 Mesa, AZ 85210 (480) 926-9731 August 13, 2019 Mr. Bill Gates, Chairman Mr. Steve Chucri, Member Maricopa County Board of Supervisors 301 W. Jefferson, 10th Floor Phoenix, AZ 85003 Re: North Mesa Judicial Precinct Dear Board Members: For the last six and a half years, I've had the pleasure of serving as the Justice of the Peace for the North Mesa Judicial Precinct. During this time, we have had a competent and professional staff and I believe we have served the public well. While in the legislature, I attempted to achieve some justice on a macro level. I never felt very successful in that effort. As a justice of the peace, I have been able to see that justice was achieved on a micro, or individual level. That has been a great honor for me. For much of our community their only contact with government is with the justice courts. I have always tried to make sure that defendants have felt that they were fairly treated and that they had "their day in court." Hopefully that has been accomplished. As I approach my 71' birthday, I have concluded that it is time for me to retire. Please consider this my notice to retire at the end of this September. I will consider September 3U n (Nth as my last day of employment with Maricopa County. I thank you and the people of Maricopa County, and particularly those of the North Mesa Judicial Precinct, for the opportunity I've had to serve. Cecil P. Ash Copies to: Keith Russell, Presiding Judge, Maricopa County Justices of the Peace Tammy Habros, Court Manager, North Mesa Justice Court "Committed to the timely, fair and impartial administration of justice"
