April disclosure, if it occurs, follows February 24, 2023, Board Executive meeting where Community College staff received secret direction regarding “affordable housing” and potential purchase of real property in Yavapai County near Prescott Valley, and negotiations for potential lease of real property in Yavapai County near Verde Valley
Yavapai Community College has included in its draft capital improvement budget, unwrapped at the March 2023 Governing Board meeting, an expenditure of $3.4 million for “Workforce Housing.” At that meeting the Community College’s Prescott-based executives were unable or unwilling to disclose precisely how the money would be used.
The executives indicated at the March meeting that how the funds would be used would be disclosed at the April meeting, where a final Capital budget would be produced. To date, neither the public nor the Blog have any further information about this expenditure.
