Public Works Leadership Fellow

Bernier, Carr & Associates is very proud to announce that Mr. Kris D. Dimmick, P.E., Vice President of Municipal Engineering, has been named a Public Works Leadership Fellow by the American Public Works Association. The Leadership Fellow Designation was given to Mr. Dimmick at International Public Works Congress & Exposition in Denver, Colorado.  As a Public Works Leadership Fellow, Mr. Dimmick will complete a mentor training program in Kansas City at the Donald C. Stone Center for Leadership Excellence in Public Works and will work directly with developing public works managers and future leaders to share the knowledge and experiences he has gathered over his 28 year career.

Today most Public Works Professionals in Leadership positions are more than 50 years old. With the retirement of so many talented individuals on the horizon, this systematic transfer of knowledge and skills is essential to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Leadership Fellows have at least 20 years of experience in the public works arena and are willing to commit at least 40 hours each year to mentoring young professionals.  The Leadership Fellows were awarded the Public Works Leadership Fellow designation because of their accomplishments in public works and contributions they have made to the profession throughout their careers. “Each member of this inaugural group will be linked as a mentor for a full year to people entering the careers program,” said APWA Executive Director Peter B. King. He noted that the new program builds on APWA Chapter leadership institutes to offer a flexible integrated approach to learning leadership skills, and presents career options for technical and financial specialists who want to move into a management track.

TAKE A WALK ON THE GREEN SIDE
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE WALKING TOUR

The Village of Sackets Harbor and the Town of Hounsfield can boast of a surprising number of points of interest within our community. From classic 19th Century architecture and keystone bridges dating to 1825, to the Battlefield State Historic Site, limestone schoolhouses, historic cemeteries, Park Service sites, and sweeping lakeshore vistas, there is something for every taste.

But, a new- and truly different- addition to the list of guidebooks, maps, and pamphlets about our area is a little publication prepared by Bernier, Carr & Associates: A Green Infrastructure Walking Tour.

The walking tour highlights the improvements made to the Village's and
Town's water system, lift station, and treatment plant, as well as municipal
recycling programs, tree planting projects, and applied sustainable technology. Mentioned sites on the tour include Rain Gardens, Porous Pavement Installations, Photovoltaic Cells at the Waste Treatment Plant, and a dozen other features that we can all be proud of as forward thinking, sustainable infrastructure.

Bernier, Carr & Associates' pamphlet includes a street map and a brief text description of each "green" feature or infrastructure program. ~ -Ed.
