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.

One of the most important items to be discussed and voted upon is the College Facilities Master Plan.

Disabled veterans, the elderly, wheel chair bound residents, students, faculty, and  those who can’t take a day off work to attend, and other interested residents who would like to know what the Board is doing in detail  must wait to view a video tape of the meeting that the College posts anywhere from a few weeks to several months after a meeting on the District website.

Although the Board has not posted the meeting  on its website, the event date, time and place  is based on reasonably reliable information obtained by the Blog.  

If you are curious about the meeting, watch for a posting of an agenda on the Governing Board website sometime late this week; most likely Friday or Saturday. It should also confirm the information the Blog has been able to obtain about the meeting’s time and place.

It is doubtful there will be an Open Call to the public for this type of meeting but double check the agenda.

There will likely be no live streaming of the meeting by the College, a taxpayer supported institution. It prefers to make it as difficult as possible for the public to accurately know what it and the Board discuss during these meetings.  There also will likely be no video record kept. Once again, the reason for this is to make it as difficult as possible for the public to know precisely what transpires at these types of meetings unless they appear with their own recording equipment.

The meetings begin at 1 p.m. and are scheduled to end by 4:00 p.m.
