Apache Junction looks to fill sewer board vacancies

Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District No. 1, the sewer district, is seeking three citizens to fill vacancies on its board of directors. Board members are appointed by the Apache Junction City Council.

Members of the facilities district board serve six-year terms as volunteers who are responsible for setting policy and rates, adopting a budget and other high-level decision making regarding all aspects of the district’s operation and on-going business affairs.

By state law, board members cannot own 40 acres in the district, cannot be an employee or agent of a landowner who owns 40 acres or more in the district, cannot be an employee of the city or the county and cannot be an elected official of the city or county.

The Superstition Mountains Community Facilities District is an independent, public, nonprofit utility developed solely for the benefit of its customers and the Apache Junction community to operate and maintain a regional system for the collection, transport and treatment of sewage from the properties existing within its boundaries.
