Rejection of two recommendations by Governing Board (3-2) doesn’t damper VVBAC enthusiam
Despite the rejection of two of the Verde Valley Board Advisory Committee’s most important recommendations at the last Governing Board meeting, the Committee is moving enthusiastically ahead. One June 9, the Governing Board by a 3-2 vote rejected the Committee’s recommendations that there not be any additional property tax increase at this time and that movement on the ten-year-development plan be delayed until there was a strategic plan that included Sedona and the Verde Valley.

The Committee at its July 1 meeting focused on improved marketing of Yavapai Community College on the East side of the County. The Committee Chair, Paul Chevalier, stated that the College needed to “engage students early-on” if it was to attract students to the Community College. The Committee agreed that it would ask the Governing Board for a specific response to its marketing and recruitment recommendation.
The Committee also discussed improving communication with the residents of the East side of the County through Town meetings or similar gatherings. No date was set for the first such effort.
