FLUSH WITH MONEY; REBUILD RATHER THAN RESURFACE; NO CITIZEN OVERSIGHT
Yavapai College has millions of dollars in discretionary property tax revenue that President, Penelope Wills can spend with little or no oversight by citizens. Currently, one of her recent decisions is to rebuild rather than resurface a number of parking lots in the District with a heavy focus on the Prescott Campus.
As noted above, there is no voter oversight of decisions by Yavapai County citizens over the expenditure of funds on such projects as parking lots. Obviously, resurfacing a parking lot is much less expensive than completely rebuilding it. But, if you got the money piling up, you got to spend it somewhere.
Shown below is the parking lot adjacent Building 29 on the Prescott Campus. As you can see, rather than resurface the lot, the College is spending thousands on constructing a completely new surface for the parking lot.
