More Getting Up to Speed

PUC Garage and Power Plant

I asked Mike Taylor, Public Utilities Electric Department Head, for the nickel tour of the PUC Garage this afternoon. He graciously took the time to show me around the PUC Garage & Grounds (Rec Park), Power Plant & Substation (west edge of town) and the east end of PUC electric service at Croftville. Seeing these facilities and some of our infrastructure first hand was extremely useful in growing my understanding of the services our PUC Electric Department provides and challenges they face. In addition to Taylor, Matt Bronikowski and Jeff Eliasen work full time in this Department.

Rec Park

Last week, Dave Tersteeg, Rec Park Manager, gave me a tour of the Rec Park Office and Operations. We also had the opportunity to discuss the current layout of the Park, amenities & services offered, infrastructure concerns and the Master Plan effort currently underway. Clearly, the Rec Park and its future is of significant importance to many. In addition to Dave, the Park Office is staffed by Amber Clay and Sam Williams.
