Hello Neighbor,
A special election is being held to elect seven new PSWID Board Members on May 20, 2014. There are eight people running for the board: 1. Larry Bagshaw 2. Rus Brock 3. Richard James 4. Trent McNealy 5. Paul Randall 6. Sam Schwalm 7. Don Smith 8. Tom Weeks I haven’t known some of these gentlemen for very long, but over the last couple of months we have spent many hours talking about the issues and challenges that face the future board. All eight candidates have a common goal to restore thepublic’s trust in PSWID by conducting business in the open and by respectfully addressing the questions, concerns and ideas that members of the community have. There is strong agreement that the board needs to use the community’s money carefully and to obtain the best value for that money. In my view, you can’t go wrong no matter for whom you vote. However, I do strongly encourage you to cast your ballot as a show of support for the new board and the new direction on which they will be embarking. Candidate Meet & Greet: A "Meet and Greet" with the PSWID candidates is being planned for April 19th, at the Ramada next to the Pine Cultural Center. Details are still in progress and will be communicated later, but circle the date on your calendar. We look forward to meeting you. Election Information: There will be a BALLOT REPLACEMENT SITE at the First Baptist Church of Pine on Election Day, May 20, 2014 – open from 6am to 7pm. If a voter fails to receive, has lost, or spoiled their original vote by mail ballot, they may be issued a replacement ballot. Arizona Statute 48-1012 (F) allows that in addition to any other qualified elector of the district, any natural person who is a qualified elector of this state and an owner of real property within the district is eligible to vote in the district election without regard to that person’s residency. Translated, that means that you don’t have to be registered to vote in Pine or Strawberry to be able to vote in the PSWID election. Please make sure that you are a currently registered voter and listed on the Gila County Assessor’s tax roll for property located within PSWID district. It is required that this documentation be current so that your vote may be authenticated. All ballot signatures will be authenticated. (FORM TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION) Note: this form refers to the term “Early Ballot” however, it is only used to update information – there are no early ballots for this election. Please help get the word out to all your neighbors (part-time & full-time residents and friends) who live in the Pine Strawberry Water Improvement District that this is a very important election for the Pine Strawberry community. The Gila County website is being updated so be patient with finding information - you may also call one of the numbers below. • CANDIDATES • Basic information on the ELECTION • Complete voter information Gila County Recorders or by calling 928- 402-8740 or toll free at 800-304-4452 - Sam Schwalm |
