Pawnee City Fighting To Keep NPPD Position in Town
By John Nixon
02/15/2016

(KLZA)-- Pawnee City is attempting to convince the Nebraska Public Power District to continue to have a maintenance position located in Pawnee City.

John DeFreece has announced his retirement from NPPD and the electric company has indicated they may not replace him with a person in Pawnee City.  City Clerk Tammy Stephens says the push is on to keep the position in Pawnee City.
 
Stephens says C.J. Foods in Pawnee City is the biggest electrical customer NPPD has in the state. The Pawnee City sewer plan also spends more than $40,000 annually on electricity. With Pawnee City being the county seat, Stephens says they feel it is important to have a maintenance person in town.
 
Bob Miller, President of the Pawnee City development group, is meeting with village and county board members to contact Craig Vincent with NPPD, to urge him to keep the position located in Pawnee City. 
 
Stephens says that NPPD does not own a building in either Pawnee City or in Humboldt.
