SCOTT HUELE of Big Bear City Community
Services District
Monday evening, March 6,
2017, Big Bear City, California – Scott Heule, the General Manager of the Big
Bear City Community Services District (BBCCSD) since 2014, announced he will
retire from his position as head of the agency on July
21, 2017.
During
his tenure at the BBCCSD the district adopted its first
ever official agency Mission Statement and five-year strategic
plan, and updated its branding to help celebrate the agency’s 50th
anniversary. “It has been a high honor to serve the citizens and visitors of
Big Bear City and work with a dedicated Board of Directors and highly
professional staff providing water, sewer and trash collection in Big Bear
City”, Heule said.
Heule
went on to say that “I believe the BBCCSD has made important strides during my
tenure. It has become a better educated and more professional
organization from the newest staff member all the way to the Board of
Directors. In fact, the BBCCSD Board will be recognized later this year in
Special District Governance by the California Special District Association when
the final Board member completes the Special District Governance Academy”.
When
notifying his Board about his retirement Mr. Heule said “I have
had a unique opportunity to serve the domestic water supply interests
of the residents and visitors of Big Bear Valley in both the private and public
setting since the late 1980’s. The staff here is a valuable professional
resource for both the District and the valley and provides an invaluable
service to our customers. They do not get the credit they deserve. I value the time
I have been able to serve with them”.
Beginning
in 2003, Mr. Heule has served the Big Bear community in senior
leadership positons, first at the City of Big Bear Lake Department of
Water and Power, then at the Big Bear Municipal
Water District prior to joining the BBCCSD. Before joining
the staff at CBBLDWP he was appointed to and served six
years on the Board of Commissioners at the CBBLDWP during the
1990’s.
Mr.
Heule says “after spending the past 14 years in management in the public
sector and 26 years working for private engineering
companies, I would like to transition into a more relaxed
atmosphere of spending time traveling with my wife Jackie and
our five grandchildren and maybe some part-time
hydrogeology consulting”.
John
Green, Board President said “As you can imagine all of
us were surprised by Scott’s announcement. We have
appreciated his leadership and service to the agency and wish
him all the best.”
The
BBCCSD Board of Directors will immediately begin an exhaustive and
thorough search for his replacement.
