The Fire District is governed by a five member non-partisan board elected at large by
the registered voters of the District. Board members are elected to alternating four-year
terms so there are at least two members elected every two years. The Board
establishes policy, sets tax rates, and approves the annual budget. As a special district
of the State, the Fire District must comply with all applicable Arizona Revised Statutes
such as the Open Meeting Laws.
