1st Quarter Review Kevin Streett, General Manager Jefferson County - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

1st Quarter Review Kevin Streett, General Manager Jefferson County Public Utility District #1 May 27, 2020

“Many in our communities, including state and local government officials, have been working to increase broadband access as it has become essential to citizens under the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order. Possibly those most in need are the families who have students in school. We would like to thank the efforts of Kevin Streett, his staff and the PUD Commissioners Jeff Randall Ken Collins, and Dan Toepper for their support in the PUD’s efforts to increase free access points in the county. Although drive- up free wifi hotspots may not be as convenient as having high-speed internet in the home, it is a step in the right direction. The leadership of the PUD is commendable. Please join us in thanking Kevin and team!” Sincerely, Jefferson County School Superintendents Patricia Beathard, Brinnon Rick Thompson, Chimacum Frank Redmon, Quilcene John Polm, Port Townsend Letter to the Editor, PT Leader, May 27, 2020 1st Quarter Projects Review 2020 2
