Padilla denies an intention to suggest that Chevalier quit the Board | Chevalier perceives Padilla’s intention was to encourage him to leave Board; Chevalier defends record supporting the College as a whole while charging members on the west side of Mingus Mountain as riding a Community College gravy train that has left his side of Mingus Mountain far behind

Third District Representative Mr. Paul Chevalier

As the sun began to sink on the day-long Yavapai Community College District Governing Board Workshop on Friday, January 28 at the Prescott Valley Yavapai Community College Center, Third District Representative Paul Chevalier and Fifth District representative Mitch Padilla came to loggerheads over Mr. Chevalier’s sometimes contrary views and persistent support of Sedona and the Verde Valley during Board meetings. 

Mr. Padilla charged Mr. Chevalier as being “fundamentally opposed to the majority on the Board” who work “for the betterment of the whole of the College” and worried that Chevalier’s strong commitment to his District was not productive.  “Every time you bring it up, it is going to be voted down,” said Padilla. (See video below). He went on to ask Chevalier, “why do you remain on the Board . . .?

Fifth District Representative Mr. Mitch Padilla

Chevalier perceived Padilla’s comments and question as amounting to a proposal that he quit the Board. Padilla denied that was his intention.   Chevalier said that “the vast majority of the time I have voted with the whole Board” on issues.  He also said that he remains on the Board because he made a promise to the people of his district that he would try and get more equitable treatment for them. “The district is way, way behind what they should get,” said Chevalier.

Chevalier attributed the fact that the other Board members do not feel as strongly as he does about representing the citizens of their districts is that they are on what he described as a Community College “gravy train.” Meanwhile, according to Chevalier, citizens on the east side of Mingus Mountain have been left far behind.

An unedited video clip of the three-minute exchange between Mr. Chevalier and Mr. Padilla appears below.

Claims using “Yavapai Community College” is derogatory in context in which it is used | Concedes that the legal name is “Yavapai County Community College District (see video clip)

The November 16 Yavapai Community College District Governing Board meeting found time to listen to a grievance by Board member Ray Sigafoos about those persons who refer to the institution as “Yavapai Community College.” Rather than “Yavapai College.” 

According to Mr. Sigafoos, the institution has always been called  “Yavapai College”  and he has a “serious adverse” reaction   every time he reads “Yavapai Community College.”  He interpreted the use of the name “Yavapai Community College” as derogatory claiming its use “is pejorative, it’s targeted.” According to Sigafoos, referring to the Yavapai County institution as a community college  “misunderstands” the institution’s entire purpose.  He did not elaborate.  (See video clip for context.)

Sigafoos  suggested that the label “Yavapai College” is used for marketing and “branding.”  He noted that at least one other institution, Arizona Western Community College, uses the name “Arizona Western College.”

Sigafoos also noted that in two years Yavapai may be awarding four-year degrees. If that happens, he claimed  “it is better to have a diploma that says `Yavapai College’ for four years in a nursing program” than have a four-year degree saying,  “Community College.” According to Sigafoos, “it sounds better.”

Representative Chris Kuknyo noted during the Board discussion that the institution was originally created as  “Yavapai Community College.”  Sigafoos admitted that the legal name is  “Yavapai County Community College District.”   

Mr. Kuknyo also commented that when the word “community” is used it may bring in a “whole different focus to an organization.” He went on to say that there have been times when the community has “perceived us as an elitist group of people and unless you have the money to sign up for all the events you are never going to get in to see a show” – it is only for the elite.  (See video clip for complete context.)   

From the Blog’s perspective, when entities  use “college” and “community college” as a part of their name they are projecting quite different word pictures.  The reason for that is that there are significant  commonly understood differences associated with the use of “community college” and “college.” Here are a few examples:

• The types of degrees offered is a major difference between community colleges and four-year colleges and universities.   Community colleges offer professional certificates and/ or an associate degree after two years of study.  Colleges offer a variety of degrees after four years of study.
• Community colleges have lower tuition and fees than colleges. At public, four-year colleges, the average in-state tuition and fees were $10,440 in 2019-2020 and out-of-state tuition and fees were $26,820, according to the College Board’s 2019 Trends in College Pricing report. Comparatively, the average in-district tuition and fees at public two-year colleges in the same year were just $3,730.
• Most community colleges do not require standardized admissions tests (only a test of English for international students). Colleges may require that students have taken standardized admissions tests, possess minimum grade point averages, and meet other criteria.
• Community colleges offer flexible course schedules to accommodate students’ lives outside of school. Most colleges do not.
• A high school diploma is not usually required to attend a community college. Colleges require a high school diploma.
• Community college instructors spend most of their time teaching and working with students, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They usually don’t spend as much time working on research as their counterparts at four-year institutions.
• Community colleges are typically commuter schools. The average student at community colleges tends to be older than students attending a college.
• The average age of a community college student is 28, according to the American Association of Community Colleges. About two-thirds of community college students attend school part time. Most students work either part or full time.
• Many community colleges offer a selection of student organizations that students can become involved with, but the social atmosphere at community colleges tends to be drastically different from that at residential four-year colleges and universities.
• Colleges are usually state or privately supported. A community college is considered “local” and often supported by local taxpayers.

It seems obvious that it is far more correct to refer to Yavapai College” as “Yavapai Community College.”

November 16 workshop  at CTEC also generates  expressions of unhappiness by some with east side press coverage and Sedona Counsellors asking questions about taxes.  | Chevalier eventually threatens to  leave workshop unless Fourth District Representative ceases perceived personal attack on him

Governing Board meeting at CTEC.

[BLOG EXCLUSIVE.] On November 16 the Yavapai Community College District Governing Board gathered at 9:00 a.m. at the Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC) at the Prescott airport for an all day Workshop.   Representative Paul Chevalier had driven 75 miles to attend the workshop from his home in Sedona. Fourth District Representative Chris Kuknyo, who was  apparently recovering from Covid with oxygen support – or so it appeared –  was participating via  video connection from his home. The remaining members of the Governing Board, Dr. Lisa Rhine, the Board lawyer, plus a couple others, were huddled around a long, rectangular  table in a small room at CTEC.

The information the Governing Board  provided the public  before the Workshop via an original and then revised  agenda was  unusual because of the significant  differences  in language between the two.  The first public agenda stated that “Because of space constraints and increasing COVID community spread, the public will be able to observe the College District Governing Board Workshop meeting online only via YouTube Link: . . . There will be no Call to the Public on the agenda for this Workshop meeting.”  However, when the revised agenda was published,  any reference to COVID was stricken and an  Open Call to the public added along with an issue involving  a faculty future compensation complaint.  The revised Workshop agenda  resembled  more closely a general monthly Governing Board meeting than a workshop. 

The purpose of the first portion of the Workshop, according to the revised agenda, was to be a discussion about   “Board Self-Assessment” with the first item “Board Overall Performance.”   The Workshop began smoothly with an eight-minute overview/introduction  by the Workshop moderator,  Dr. David Borofsky. After that, matters began getting rocky.

Mr. Paul Chevalier, Third District Community College District Representative, opened the  Board member  discussion with an illustration he chose  to contrast past and present equitable issues between the east and west sides of the County. The illustration was based on a presentation given two weeks earlier at the monthly Board meeting where Dr.  Craig Ralston explained the successes of the fall 2021 performing arts programs. Chevalier innocently  commented   that “at our last meeting, we had a wonderful presentation about Performing Arts – 564 people but less than a dozen of those people were getting instruction on the east side of the mountain.  That’s the past.”   He then continued saying,   we need to look at the future.

Astonishingly, Chevalier’s use of  this illustration provided the  catalyst for a half hour firestorm of suggestions, criticism and analysis  directed at him about how, when, who, and what he should question as a Board member. In addition, Mr. Chevalier perceived that Fourth District Representative Chris Kuknyo was personally attacking him.   

Occasionally, the rhetoric wandered from a focus on Chevalier to condemnation of others on the east side including press coverage and the Sedona City Council seeking information about taxes paid by its citizens to support the Community College.  The fact that Mr. Chevalier asked Dr. Ralston a simple question about where each of 11 programs was taught during a public meeting seemed to trigger deep indignation  in some (not all) of the Board members. 

The fact that Mr. Chevalier had lauded Dr. Ralston for his work with the performing arts seemed unimportant to the Board critics.  Recall that Dr. Ralston is the  Director of Programming and Development, Associate Dean of Performing Arts and in charge of the Performing Arts Programs and knew all about the programming and the location of programs. The exchange at the previous Board meeting between Dr. Ralston and  Mr. Chevalier lasted only a  minute or two.  A review of a video of the exchange at the previous meeting does not appear to suggest that Dr. Ralston was either surprised or upset by the questions – but see it for yourself and make your own decision (see exchange on earlier Blog post).

Fourth District Governing Board representative Chris Kuknyo appeared emotional as he  accused  Chevalier of “grilling” Dr. Ralston. According to Kuknyo, Dr. Ralston underwent a  grilling “by the guy who always grills about the Verde Valley.”  Kuknyo  opined that Ralston was taken “by surprise” by Chavlier and exclaimed that it was “embarrassing on my part to watch.” Kuknyo also said, among other things,  that  Dr. Ralston should have avoided answering Mr. Chevalier’s simple questions by declaring  that “every one of the classes is available on the east side, they all were available to anyone on the east side.”

Chevalier, for his part, was at a loss to understand how asking Dr. Ralston, who is  in charge of programming and development for the Community College Performing Arts Center, and  intimately involved in programming, was either surprised or otherwise adversely affected by his questions.

Some Board members also seemed to believe that it was inappropriate for  Chevalier to be so continually  focused on the Verde Valley. It was suggested  that he should understand that courses in the Verde Valley will never match in number those in Prescott.  Some on the Board  appeared to dislike  his style of asking questions. Eventually,  some of the Board strongly indicated that they believed  that Mr. Chevalier should not ask such questions of faculty in public, rather, he should ask them in private of Dr. Rhine.

Although  the Board continued to focus much of its criticism on Chevalier and his determination to represent the west-side and other underserved residents of the County, there  were occasional off-hand comments  directed at others in the Verde Valley.  For example, Mr. Kuknyo appeared upset with the City of Sedona’s Counselors, a couple of whom  had requested information about the property tax contributions of east side residents to the Community College’s annual revenue.  He commented critically, “there is also a city government over there that now wants all the records on what is being spent in their community.  I’ve never heard of a municipality calling on another central municipality to start showing its records on what is spent.  This is getting crazy.” 

Kuknyo also was unhappy with press coverage suggesting that the Board needed its own advocate on the east side of the County and that “there’s a gentleman putting out and electronic newsletter on Yavapai that I have read and it is filled with half-truths, misinformation, and misguidance on what’s going on at the college.” He offered neither proof nor a single example to support his assertions.

There was much more to the tense half hour; too much for here.  For example, and to the surprise no doubt to  some, Dr. Lisa Rhine expressed concern that if faculty were asked questions about their presentations by Board members they may not show up to do them.  She also alluded without out explanation to “elitism” on the east side and felt the press, in particular the Blog, looked for “opportunities to slam the college.”  Furthermore, she indicated that “negativism” on the east side might have reduced contributions to the Foundation. 

For another example, Chair Deb McCasland observed that Mr. Chevalier was trying to make a point at Governing Board meetings that there was inequity in classes between the east and west sides of the County. She commented that it “is always going to be that way.” She also urged Chevalier to take any questions to Dr. Rhine privately and to send any questions he might ask to her prior to a Governing Board meeting.

After around a half hour, Mr. Chevalier, obviously agitated, asked, “So far, I’m the one being attacked. . . . Chris keeps attacking me. I’m not going to sit here [and be attacked]. I’m leaving right now unless we have an agreement that it ceases.”     Kuknyo agreed and the focus of the discussion turned to other matters. 

Later in the afternoon session Mr. Chevalier notified the Board that he would no longer ask questions of faculty presenters.  However, he said he would continue to ask questions of the President and Vice Presidents. 

A video clip of the half hour appears below. (Sorry for the poor quality of the audio but the  stream was not consistent.)  The Governing Board may later post the entire meeting on-line once the Board minutes are approved.  

Padilla suggests extremely long term plans not may not be sufficiently flexible; greatest challenge for College in next few years may be how to use changing technology

Governing Board member Mitch Padilla led the  discussion at the March District Governing Board meeting on the topic of the decision by the Administration to create a new Master Plan.  At the conclusion of the discussion, the Board voted unanimously to allocate the $200,000 in the 2021-22 budget, suggested by the Administration,  to hire experts to create a new Master Plan.

Mr. Padilla expressed concern about a future long-term Campus Master plan that might reduce the College’s flexibility to meet new and emerging needs.  He said that to “set a plan out for ten years and try to adhere to that year after year until you get to the eighth or ninth year, when you begin the planning of the next ten, doesn’t allow for advances in technology.” He also said that changing technology is the single greatest factor the College is facing in terms of “changes in the next few years.” From his perspective, the Community College needs maximum flexibility in a Master Plan.

Representative Ray Sigafoos commented that the present ten-year plan was “just a plan” and not a collection of hard decisions that were “locked in cement.”   He noted, for example,  that plans to spend millions of dollars on the Prescott Valley Campus to move allied heath from the Verde Campus there and develop a major allied health training facility never fully materialized. 

Representative Chris Kuknyo agreed with Vice President Clint Ewell that the College did not need more space.  He urged the College to continuing caring for the space that  it has and if deciding to build,  do so in a way that  “will last.” He also urged the College to be cautious and not begin a Master Plan “too early,” referring to lessons that might be learned from how it has operated during the Pandemic.

Representative Paul Chevalier commented that more space may be needed in Prescott Valley as it continues to grow.  He also said that more space for Career and Technical Education will most likely be needed on the Verde Campus.  Further, “Camp Verde,” he said,  may “be the future of the Verde Valley” with its land and location.  “Don’t forget about Camp Verde” in the new Master Plan.

President Dr. Lisa Rhine noted that the College needed “to be cautious “ in developing a new Master Plan.  She thought that the Pandemic may have caused the College  to change how instruction is delivered  in the future.  She said that at this point “we have adequate buildings; we may need to look at space and modify  how it is used.   We need to continue with our planned maintenance.”

Ceremony held at beginning of January 12 regular Board meeting; both to serve six years

Yavapai Community College District Governing Board members, Mr. Chris Kuknyo and Mr. Mitch Padilla, were sworn in  at a ceremony conducted by Tim Carter, Yavapai County School Superintendent, during the Board’s regular monthly meeting held January 12.   Both will serve six years as members of the Governing Board.

Mr. Padilla joined the  Board in September 2020  as the representative from District #5.  This District was represented by Steve Irwin who left the seat earlier in 2020  to run for County Supervisor. No one filed for the District #5 position by the deadline other than Mr. Padilla. Consequently, Mr Padilla was appointed and has served for four months before he was again formally sworn in again at the January meeting.

Mr. Kuknyo represents  District 4 of Yavapai County. This seat was  previously held by  Pat McCarver, who chose not to seek re-election.   Her  term expired December 31, 2020.

Will serve a second year; Ray Sigafoos chosen as Board Secretary

Chair Deb McCasland

Yavapai Community College District Two Representative Deb McCasland was unanimously selected to continue for a second year as the Chair of the Yavapai Community College District Governing Board at its January 12 meeting.  McCasland was nominated by District one representative Ray Sigafoos.  There were no other nominations.

Mr. Sigafoos was then nominated by Ms. McCasland to act as Governing Board Secretary for the coming year.  With  no other nominations for the position coming from the Board, he was selected unanimously.

When it came to Chair appointments, Ms. McCasland appointed herself and Ray Sigafoos to serve on the State Trustee Board. She also appointed herself to serve as Board spokesperson and as Yavapai Community College Foundation liaison.  She asked  District 4 Representative Chris Kuknyo  and District 5 representative Mitch Padilla to “shadow” her with the Community College Foundation meetings with each attending alternate meetings with her.

When Paul Chevalier was asked if he had ever functioned in any of the appointive positions by Mr. Kuknyo, he said “no.” He said  he believed Ms. McCasland would prefer that the two of them do it.  Ms. McCasland commented  that “last year” Mr. Chevalier said he didn’t want to be a liaison “so we’ll do it this way this year.”

Urges transparency in strongly worded statement he was not permitted to read to the Board at General Meeting July 28; ruled not on agenda and no discussion of any kind could be held

Third District Yavapai Community College representative Paul Chevalier has consistently urged the College to produce a much more detailed, transparent budget to the public.  The annual budget is estimated at about $85 million and over 90% of funds come from taxpayers in one form or another.

At the July 28 meeting he again raised this issue and wanted to express to the Board and President Lisa Rhine his views on the subject.  Legal Counsel for the Governing Board ruled he could not read or discuss the issue because it was not on the Board agenda.

The Blog has obtained a copy of his written remarks and they are produced below (with Mr. Chavalier’s permission).  There is also a brief video showing the ruling on the issue by the Board legal counsel.

  Yavapai College Board Meeting Comment on Budget July 28.2020

I have an update comment to the Board and the President concerning the annual Yavapai College budgets that are presented to this Board for its approval. I have recently reviewed the annual budgets of other public entities in our county. I specifically reviewed four major Yavapai County cities 2019/2020 budgets, all of which are available on line. They are as follows:

First in alphabetical order is Cottonwood AZ’s annual budget that was presented to its City Council and is available to the public. It is 310 pages long. It is detailed and transparent.

Next, Prescott AZ’s annual budget – detailed and transparent – it is 307 pages long. 

Next, Prescott Valley AZ’s annual budget  – also a detailed transparent budget. It is 330 pages long.

Finally, Sedona, AZ’s annual budget – it too is a detailed transparent budget and it is 390 pages long.

All Yavapai County city budgets present in detail how public money is being spent and they offer explanations of why it is being spent.

What about nearby colleges and universities budgets?  Are they also detailed and transparent?

To find out I reviewed NAU’s budget.  NAU’s main campus is less than 30 miles from the Yavapai County border.  NAU’s 2019/2020 annual budget can be found online. It is 187 pages long.  Moreover, the print size on many of the NAU budget pages is much smaller than the Yavapai College or City budgets discussed above. If the NAU print size matched those budgets it would have been closer to 300 pages in length.

The NAU budget details individual expenses of each department and details individual expenses of its other major activities.  Not only can one find in the NAU budget detail on how the money was spent for each academic discipline but also one can read the detail of how the money was spent on activities such as information technology and athletics. 

The Yavapai College budget is neither detailed nor transparent. Its 2019/2020 budget is just 28 pages long. I do not have the exact length of the 2020/2021 Yavapai College budget handy but I am aware it is little different from its 2019/2020 budget length. It is impossible to be detailed or transparent in a 28 page Yavapai College budget.

 Members of the public in my district have discussed why Yavapai College won’t provide detailed transparent annual budgets to its Board and to the public.  

Our immediate past President had been blamed for not making the college budgets transparent. People now realize that if the blame were only with the past President then this situation would have changed when she left office a year and a half ago.

 It did not change.

Members of the public has been discussing why this is so.

The prime reason discussed by members of the public is that the college leadership refuses to provide detailed financial information because with this knowledge members of the public or a member of the Board might challenge the college on how it spends some of the public’s money.

The less detail the Board or the public is given about how the college spends money the easier it is for college leadership to spend it their way without questions being asked. Yavapai College leadership doesn’t want checks and balances over its power.

 This thinking, of course, ignores the fact that one of the key purposes of the rule of law is to control people in public power from abusing it. That is a key element of our democracy. Withhold transparency and democracy erodes. We need to insure our public actions support our democracy. Refuse to do that and we lose our freedom.

I will address another possible reason voiced by some members of the public that I respect. It is more even alarming than the reason already discussed and you should be made aware of it.  It is this  – some of the people in power at Yavapai College do not want the Board, or the public, or you, madam President, to know where all the money has gone that the College has or is taking in. The public audit required by law will not reveal it. It would take a transparent detailed public budget to account for all the money used and that is why some people believe the college is avoiding financial transparency.

I do not want to believe that corruption exists at the college but that belief is gaining traction. No good reason has ever been given for the college’s lack of budget transparency. It is not the practice of other major public entities in our county. I see no way to justify it.  Neither does anyone I have talked with.

If there is nothing to hide, why hide anything?

We are in a time in America of anger, fear, frustration and distrust with public protests brought on by multiple factors coalescing including high unemployment, increasing poverty, a deadly pandemic, racial discrimination, police brutality, corruption and assorted other abuses of government power. Out of this environment the public’s cry for transparency is permeating activist America.

Our local public’s suspicion generated by Yavapai College’s refusal to be financially transparent needs to be acknowledged not ignored. The college needs to maintain and further gain the public’s respect and trust. Refusing to disclose complete detailed financial information does the opposite.

All the Yavapai County City Governments discussed here provide detailed transparent budgets to the public and their elected city councils. NAU provides transparent budgets to the public and its Board.  Yavapai College needs to join them and become totally open to the public’s financial scrutiny and it needs to do it with its next budget.

Ignorance is the friend of tyranny and the enemy of democracy. Our college’s job is to reduce ignorance.  And yet when it comes to its own finances our college seeks to keep the public ignorant. Complete budget transparency is the right thing to do. Additionally it is the prudent course of action to take. The college should not risk harming its reputation by fighting complete public financial transparency any longer.  

Lisa, I am in touch with the public of my district. I am presenting to you here what I have been told, what I have observed and my personal research. I hope you find this helpful in making the decision on the depth of the content of the next college budget.
