Arizona Revised Statutes Title 48. Special Taxing Districts § 48-2914.01. Additional directors in certain districts

A. If a district includes more than ten thousand acres of land, the district, by resolution of the board of directors, may provide for electing two qualified electors as directors at large in addition to one director elected from each division in the district. At the first election held under this subsection the candidate for at large director receiving the highest number of votes shall hold office for three years, and the candidate for at large director receiving the next highest number of votes shall hold office for two years. Directors elected at large at subsequent elections hold office for a term of three years.

B. If a proposed district includes more than ten thousand acres of land, the petition proposing the district may request that the district board of directors include two qualified electors as directors at large in addition to one director elected from each division.

C. If a district includes more than ten thousand acres of land and has five board members pursuant to subsection A or B of this section, the district by resolution of the board of directors may provide for the election of one additional qualified elector from each division to serve as directors from each division and shall reduce its board membership from two directors at large to one director at large. The reduction from two directors at large to one director at large takes effect at the end of the term of the at large director whose term expires immediately after August 3, 2018, and that at large director's position on the board of directors is eliminated. The board shall stagger the terms of the directors from each division so that not more than one director from each division is elected in any year. Directors hold office for a term of three years.
