Re: 
McMicken Irrigation District – Cancellation of Election 
Dear Ms. Medaris: 
 
As you are aware, if an election that is to be held pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Title 
15, Title 48 or § 16-822, and the total number of persons who file a nomination petition for a 
candidate and the number of persons who file a nomination paper for a write-in candidate as 
prescribed by chapter 3, articles 2 and 3 of this title is less than or equal to the number of positions to 
be filled at the election for which the nomination petition or nomination paper is filed, the County 
Board of Supervisors may cancel the election.   
 
The final day for candidate nomination papers for the McMicken Irrigation District (the 
“District”) directors’ election was today, August 25, 2021.  As there are two director positions up for 
election this year, and only one candidate petition was filed for each position, the District hereby 
requests that the Board of Supervisors cancel the November 9, 2021, directors’ election.  The 
District’s Division I Director position is up for election this year, and the candidate who filed a 
nomination paper for that seat is Karen Fletcher.  The District’s Division II Director position also is 
up for election and Lomand Beals filed a nomination paper for that seat.  Copies of their nomination 
papers are enclosed.   
 
Please place this matter on the agenda for the next formal Board of Supervisors’ meeting, 
which we understand will be on September 15, 2021.   
 
Please call me if you have any questions. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Very truly yours,
