GALION – The City of Galion is pleased to announce the hiring of Jerry Pangborn as Electrical Distribution Superintendent. He started June 4 with a salary of $72,000 per year.
Pangborn will oversee a crew of four linemen and two groundmen. The Line Department maintains the electrical distribution system for nearly 6,000 customers, including outage response and new service connection.
He previously worked in the Line Department from 1999 until 2004, and most recently spent 12 years at Carter Electric. On why he decided to return to the City, Pangborn said, “I ran my own business and crews most of my life, and since I had worked here before I figured it would be a good fit.”
One of Pangborn’s priorities is to finish converting street lighting to energy-efficient LED bulbs. In his spare time, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and boating.
