Colorado Springs’ new committee on oil and gas drilling is off to a rocky start.
City Councilman Bernie Herpin quit the Oil and Gas Committee last week, saying he didn’t have enough time to attend three-hour meetings every Thursday morning for the next five months.
“I wouldn’t be able to devote the time to the committee that it’s going to require,”

“I wouldn’t be able to devote the time to the committee that it’s going to require,”
Herpin, who works full-time as a senior information system analyst at Schriever Air Force Base, said Thursday.
“Rather than take up a position that some other council member could fill and maybe attend occasionally, I felt it was in the best interest of the city and the committee for me not to participate as a council member,” he said. “But I will keep up, of course, with what’s going on.”
When Herpin resigned from the committee, City Councilman Tim Leigh offered to take his place.
