Dave Siburg Will Depart From Kitsap Public Utility District After 27 Years (Kitsap Sun, Bremerton, WA)


POULSBO — Dave Siburg, general manager of Kitsap Public Utility District for the past 27 years, will leave his post at the end of the year, according to PUD Commissioner Jim Civilla.

Civilla said the elected board did not ask Siburg to leave, but it agreed to his plan for a smooth transition. Siburg is completing work on a doctoral degree to take his career in a new direction, Civilla said, adding that the board wishes to thank him for his many years of service.

Siburg issued a written statement: "I have had a great 27 years with Kitsap PUD, helping it to grow and develop ... In an effort to make the transition as smooth as possible, the board has graciously allowed me to begin using my leave and to concentrate on my external sector engagements outside of the date-to-day operations of the PUD during this time.

"It's been an honor to serve the board for 27 years and a pleasure to work with all my gifted colleagues and friends at the PUD," he said.


Bob Hunter, the PUD's assistant manager, was placed in charge of PUD staff through the end of the year.
