Board may most likely allow an open call to the public at the beginning of the meeting where a citizen may address the Board for up to three minutes; the entire event will be live streamed
The Yavapai Community College District Governing Board will hold its first public meeting since May 2024 at the Rock House on the Prescott Campus on Tuesday, September 24. The meeting is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. and will run an estimated three hours. It will be live-streamed on YouTube.
There is likely to be an opportunity for residents and others to address the Governing Board at the beginning of the meeting for about three minutes. A citizen wishing to address the Board is normally asked to complete a “Request to Speak” form before speaking, and give it to the Recording Secretary. The speaker should be prepared to limit his or her remarks to the designated time (from one to three minutes although typically three minutes).
Under Arizona law, a citizen has a right to attend, listen, tape record, or videotape all of these meetings. The public may not disrupt, but may speak during the Call to the Public at the beginning of this meeting if the call is on the agenda. See Ariz. Att’y Gen. Op. No. I78-001.

A. C. K. is my motto for these books – Be A Conservation Kid!’ Sanford’s thesis has been downloaded for research throughout the world and published by Liberty’s Scholars Crossing this summer. The books will be part of an upcoming series, with the first two – on the African Elephant and the African Rhinoceros – due out soon.”
