    Clarkdale AZ (February 26, 2014) – Yavapai College has commissioned a series of focus groups that will be tasked with sharing their thoughts on the public’s perception of the Verde Valley campus.  The groups, along with a county-wide media preferences survey are being conducted by the college’s marketing and communications department with the goal of gathering information that will improve community outreach and service.

    The initial focus group will be conducted during the first week of March at the Valley Campus.  “Focus groups are excellent for listening to opinions in an intimate, safe setting,” says Kim Kapin, Yavapai College marketing and communications specialist.  “Community members will have an opportunity to share their thoughts around how they view and value higher education in the Verde Valley and other related topics.  After we conclude the focus group series, our findings will be synthesized and presented to the college’s executive leadership.”

    “Surveys are appropriate for collecting data about attributes and attitudes,” adds Kapin.  “But, if the intent is to understand issues at a deeper level, then focus groups are more effective.”

    Kapin adds, “With today’s technology, we have an almost infinite number of options for getting the information we want and need.  The media preference survey will allow us to understand resident’s preferred methods for receiving information from the college. The results will help us employ the most efficient and cost-effective outlets for communicating enrollment dates, news and campus events.”

    The short, anonymous survey is available to Yavapai County residents online at www.yc.edu.  Participants are eligible to win a Kindle Fire HD in a raffle following the close of the survey in March.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
