Discussion Regarding CGI Community Video Project <br />PIO McCrea described the CGI Community Video Project, which will be rolled out at the end of <br />this year or early next year. The Project consists of a series often community videos which will <br />be linked to the City's website. The service will be free to the City, and CGI will solicit financial <br />sponsorship from local businesses for the project.
