with Kingston Water Department Superintendent Judy Hansen
WHEN
Tuesday, October 14th

WHERE
Kingston City Hall, Council Chambers
By Rebecca Martin
We are pleased that the Kingston Conservation Advisory Council has quickly organized a meeting to host Kingston Water Department Superintendent Judy Hansen. She will be giving an overview of the Kingston Water Supply and Distribution system, present the details of the Niagara Bottling Proposal as it pertains to the City of Kingston and the scope of what the involvement/authority/commitment the City of Kingston would have into the project.
The League of Women Voters of the Mid Hudson Region will moderate the public Q&A period following the Kingston Conservation Advisory Committee Council members have their own public Q&A period with Hansen. Questions will be requested in writing prior to the meeting.
Below is the agenda and ground rules for the public.
Kingston is fortunate to have a Conservation Advisory Council with many years of environmental experience. The group has sponsored many great INITIATIVES that includes CLIMATE SMART KINGSTON that embraces comprehensive policies and programs for the City of Kingston to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance operational and energy efficiencies, reduce energy costs, support local job growth, and adapt to a changing climate while improving quality of life, saving taxpayer dollars and promoting social justice. It’s a document that Judy Hansen as of Wednesday hadn’t yet read, or distributed to the Water Board.
READ more to learn about the members and their long standing history on environmental matters. City of Kingston employees Gregg Swanzey (Director, Office of Economic Development & Strategic Partnerships) and Julie Noble (Chair, and Environmental Educator) are both members.
KingstonCitizens.org will be filming this meeting.
