Vote 4-1 to remove Yavapai College Rep from Board
Yavapai County Supervisors voted 4-1, Monday, September 21 to remove Yavapai College Representative Alexandria Wright from the local Workforce Development Board. According to Anita Payne, Development Board Chair, Ms. Wright demonstrated “an adverse and disruptive pattern of behavior that is considered to impede the efforts of the WDB” while she was on the Board. She stated in a letter to the Supervisors that the Executive Committee saw “no contribution from the College that supports our mission, vision and structure.”
Supervisor Chip Davis
Supervisor Chip Davis expressed amazement at the College stating he could not understand how it allows “this culture to exist. That Yavapai College allowed their staff members to go out in the community and not be a productive member of a part of it.”:
Supervisor Davis also expressed frustration with Yavapai College stating to Governing Board member Al Filardo directly stating that “I beg of you, pass on to your board that we are waiting with open arms for a great relationship. But the one that has been coming out of there for the last few years has been very disruptive and nonproductive.”
The lone dissenter was Prescott Valley Supervisor Jack Smith.
