Arizona Revised Statutes Title 48. Special Taxing Districts § 48-729. District board composition reconciliation; petition

1. At any time after receipt of a petition signed by the owners of a majority of the privately owned real property within the boundaries of the district as measured by square footage or acreage, the district board may adopt a resolution to reconcile the district board composition by permanently removing from the district board the two additional appointed district board members and their positions on the district board.

2. On removal of the two additional district board members and their positions as prescribed in paragraph 1 of this section, the district shall be governed by a district board that consists of the governing body of the municipality or county, ex officio.

3. At any time after receipt of a petition signed by the owners of a majority of the privately owned real property within the boundaries of the district as measured by square footage or acreage, the district board may adopt a resolution that provides that the two additional appointed district board member positions shall permanently be advisory nonvoting members of the district board following adoption of the resolution. Conversion of the two additional appointed district board member positions to advisory nonvoting district board member positions does not preclude any subsequent district board reconciliation as prescribed in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this subsection. The petition prescribed in this paragraph may be presented to the governing body of the municipality or county before formation of the district, and if so presented, the resolution ordering formation of the district adopted by the governing body may state that the two additional appointed district board member positions shall permanently be advisory nonvoting members of the district board.
