CAPS Media’s is continuing to expand production services with the City of Ventura to share information about what’s happening in the community and at City Hall. Working in collaboration with Ashley Bautista, Interim Communications Manager for the City, CAPS crews recorded informative messages for the public with Ventura Police and California State Parks Lifeguards relaying 4th of July regulations and beach safety. At another location CAPS crews interviewed Meredith Hart, the City’s Safe and Clean program manager, who explained the city’s various outreach and clean up programs. The videos appear on the City website, various social media platforms and air and stream on CAPS Media Channel 15.
Echoing the expanding collaboration with the city, CAPS Media welcomes the newest members of the City management team: Akbar Alikhan, Assistant City Manager, Peter Gilli, Community Development Director, Barry Fisher, Deputy City Manager, Michael Coon, Finance & Technology Director, Phillip Nelson, Public Works Director, and Susan Rungren, Ventura Water General Manager.
Recently CAPS recorded Ventura Education Partnership’s Launch program recognizing outstanding and innovative educators in our community. CAPS Media crew members were also on hand to record the Ventura Chamber of Commerce Economic Outlook Breakfast at the Ventura Beach Marriott. In addition, CAPS Media continues to record local community council meetings throughout the city. All air on CAPS Media Channel 6 and stream on capsmedia.org.
