Says she was unable to get to Sedona before June 2015 recommendation to increase property taxes was approved by Governing Board
Yavapai Community College President Penelope Wills appeared before the Sedona City Council October 27 to answer questions about the future of the Sedona Center. She began her presentation by apologizing for leaving Sedona out of her travels around the County promoting the tax increase prior to its adoption in June by the College Governing Board. She had met with Cottonwood, Prescott Valley and other municipal governments promoting the reasons she wanted to increase property taxes but not Sedona.
The only explanation offered by Wills at the Tuesday evening meeting for leaving Sedona out of her tax increase speeches was that she was “unable to get to Sedona.” Nothing more. Although the tax increase was approved in June, she went on to say that she was now giving the Sedona Council the speech she had given (apparently explaining why she wanted property taxes increased) “so you don’t feel left out.” The brief Wills’ statement apologizing to the Mayor and Council can be found by clicking here.
