It's been nearly a year now that we have struggled to complete a capital improvement project at Simmons, and I just wanted to shine the spotlight on Chuck Dykstra, our Maintenance Superintendent. Chuck came to KPL from a long career in the construction industry and as a building inspector. The combination of that experience has been a tremendous asset to KPL, as Chuck not only can manage complex building projects like the kind we do at our historical Simmons building, but he can evaluate the quality and the requirements that surround building systems. This recent project took all kinds of twists and turns as our contractor changed course. Chuck watched the work carefully and insisted that the work be done to specifications. He met with vehement disagreement from our consultant and from city staff along the way, but he knew he was right, and we persisted until the work was done correctly. We owe Chuck a big thank you for his integrity and commitment to the right outcome.
Please join me in saying how grateful we are for his leadership!
