DENVER-In his new job, Bill Vidal is responsible for transportation planning, year-round road maintenance and repair, household trash collection and recycling services, construction management of streets, bridges, and public buildings, parking enforcement and management, engineering operations, sewage and storm drainage systems, and the overall protection of the city’s urban environment.

“Public Works is one of the city’s most critical functions in terms of delivering the services that impact the community’s lives every single day,” Hickenlooper says.

Vidal is currently the executive director of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, a position he’s held since 1999. He manages a $10-million annual operating budget and the distribution of more than $57 million in federal funds annually at DRCOG. Vidal restructured the organization to reduce bureaucracy and increase energy and participation.
