Mayor Don Gerard at EPA Public Hearing
Information Technologies Department (ITD) staff videotaped the U.S. EPA’s Public Hearing regarding the Sole Source Aquifer Designation at the Hilton Garden Inn on May 13, 2014. Due to the nature of the event, ITD staff used multiple cameras to record the event, then did a quick edit of the 3-hour event the next day in order to make the program available to the public as quickly as possible. The fully edited video was posted on the City’s website and YouTube page the morning of May 15th, and played later that day on CGTV. The video was also distributed to the Aquifer Consortium members to playback/post on their channels/websites. The video will continue to playback on CGTV thru the end of the EPA public comment period on June 12th.
