Podcast Launched By City Of Avon Lake

AVON LAKE, OH — The city of Avon Lake launched a new, biweekly podcast this month.

"Avon Lake Matters" is produced by the Avon Lake Digital Media Department. Each show will discuss what is happening locally, both at Avon Lake City Hall and in the community.

“One opportunity available to us, using the podcast, is as an education tool to keep residents informed on how the government operates. For example, there are committees and commissions whose members include residents that are an integral part of the decisions made by City Council. It is important that residents not only recognize these, but also learn how they function so they can get involved,” said Barb Cagley, director of the digital media department. “We will also highlight the people who make this city a great place to live and play."

The first interviews conducted on the podcast featured William Rutger, Shea Alltmont and Gerry Vogel of the Avon Lake Public Library. Hosts will also speak to Avon Lake City Council President Marty O'Donnell, Tony Tomanek and Sherry Spenzer of the Avon Lake Historical Society, and ALC-TV community producer Don O'Malley.

The full library of podcast shows can be found at www.AvonLake.org/podcasts. Subscribers can find "Avon Lake Matters" wherever you get your podcasts.

Avon Lake residents can also submit questions for the podcast hosts to ask of city officials. If you have a question for your city officials or a suggestion for a topic to be featured on this podcast, contact the Digital Media Department at 440-933-7677 or DigitalMedia@AvonLake.org.
