Mohave County Weighs $25,000 Deal to Retain Retired Elections Director for 200 Hours

1 articles · Updated · Mohave Valley News · Jul 5

Summary

  • $25,000 is before the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on Monday to keep retired elections director Allen Tempert on a part-time basis for up to 200 hours.
  • Tempert retired from the full-time post on July 4, and the proposed contract would formalize an earlier understanding that he would help guide the county through this month's primary and the November general election.
  • The arrangement would pay $105 an hour and support Mohave County's first election cycle in 24 years without Tempert serving as elections director.
