Kent Pottorf awarded the Dedicated Commitment to Service Award
Kent worked in the cable communications industry in Holly, Colorado, before venturing to Garden City in 1979. He worked as an Electrical Department Serviceman, responsible for meter installation, reading, and calibrations. During that time, he enrolled in the apprentice lineman program with the city and completed all necessary instructional bookwork in eight months, which typically is a 48-month process. This eventually led him to be a Journeyman Lineman, Foreman, and Electrical Operations Manager overseeing all distribution, metering, SCADA, and generation systems.
He was essential in the installation and implementation of his city’s entire AMI system, expanded the SCADA system, developed the Outage Reporting Map on the city’s web page, and, most recently, acquired facilities that allowed his city to connect to the bulk transmission system. He is now assisting in the implementation of an entirely new utility billing system. He is a busy man who is respected across the region for his depth of knowledge in the electrical industry.
Please congratulate Kent on the Dedicated Commitment to Service Award.
