September 21 letter to Dr. Wills demands meeting with City officials in Sedona on future of Yavapai College
In a letter to Yavapai Community College, the Sedona Mayor and Sedona Council are demanding that President Penelope Wills appear before them and discuss the future plans for the Sedona Center and the Verde Campus.
Mayor Sandy Moriarty
In the letter, Sedona Mayor Sandy Moriarty states that the Council “feels strongly that Yavapai College should provide more educational opportunities and an active physical presence in Sedona, commensurate with the financial investment being made by Sedona residents and businesses through their property tax assessment.”
The Sedona Taxing District pays a little over $7 million dollars annually in tax revenue to support the College. There are only one or two Yavapai College classes being taught on the campus since the College administration’s effort to close the facility failed almost two years ago. Other programs held at the facility are financed and presented by the independent nonprofit organization, Osher.
