    Arizona Revised Statute 15-1444. General powers and duties of district governing boards A. Except as otherwise provided, the district board shall:

    2. Adopt policies in a public forum to offer programs that meet the educational needs of the population served by the community college.

    Here we have 35 comments ( ) from a number of educators, professors, and citizens who had their requests to the district governing board made in public and recorded in October, 2015. What was the district governing board’s reaction to the population served by the community college? They dissolved the advisory board for the college and continued on the current policies of the $110 million 10 year improvement program in Prescott with only $2 million for the Verde Valley. Again, the district governing board ignored the college community’s requests for additional classes here.

    One thing that has been talked about, ever since Rob Adams was Mayor of Sedona, is a culinary school, which has been sadly disregarded. Another is a film school. We had a word class Hollywood director and producer leave the film school ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0NMIptPwVM) and establish a school on the east coast, which has been well received.

    We have sufficient funding in place already and yet our tax dollars continue to be siphoned to the other side of the mountain in Prescott. Isn’t it time to change this scenario?

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
