PUBLIC INPUT Jody Sweet thanked the PUD again for removing a tree at the Veteran's Hall and for providing lighting for the Park and Rec downtown building. He stated there are two power poles near the old school in the parking area, and one is in rather bad condition. The Park & Rec is upgrading the building with a new sound system and HVAC. It is going to be made into a preforming arts center. Mr. Sweet wanted to ask the District if the poles could be reengineered to be closer to the building or placed on the other side of the street. There is not lighting in the area, so it is easy to back into the poles. Mr. Sweet would appreciate it if the District would consider a relocation of the two poles. DIRECTOR UPDATE Director Hemig said he heard an interview with Steven Poncelet on NPR (90.5) today about the PUD reducing greenhouse gas by 57% over the last 9 years.
