sanitary districts; directors; payment

SB 1012 amends Arizona law to change governance for sanitary districts. Districts covering 160 acres or more must have elected boards of directors (minimum 3 members), while smaller districts can petition to elect their own boards instead of being governed by county supervisors. The bill details election procedures for conversion (requiring 25% elector signatures) and reorganization (to expand boards from 3 to 5 members), with districts covering election costs. It sets a $150 monthly director compensation limit (adjustable via CPI after 2030) and specifies meeting attendance rules. This directly affects residents and officials in Arizona sanitary districts meeting the acreage thresholds.
