The proposed bill amends Section 9-237 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the officers of every town within the state. The current law states that, in addition to the common council, the officers of every town shall include a town clerk, town marshal, town engineer, and other officers deemed necessary by the common council, all of whom are appointed as provided by town ordinance.
The new bill language makes a small but significant change by removing the position of "town engineer" from the list of required officers for a town. The revised list of officers will include only a town clerk and town marshal, along with any other officers the common council deems necessary. This change simplifies the mandatory officer positions for towns in Arizona.
