The Kiwanis Club of West Seattle, concerned about potential overuse of available city utility services, has invited City Council member Mike O’Brien to speak on “Sustainability of the City’s Infrastructure in the Light of Expansive Multi-unit Housing.” O’Brien will speak at the noon meeting, on Wednesday, April 14th, at BE’s Restaurant, located at 4509 California Ave SW.

Councilman O’Brien is Chairman of the Public Utility and neighborhoods Committee. He has an economics degree from Duke University and an MBA from the University of Washington. Prior to his 2009 election to the Council, O’Brien has followed a career in financial management. He is a committed member of the Sierra Club and resides with his wife and two sons in Fremont.

With only a short period to learn the details of utility management, O’Brien has invited Linda De Bolt, P.E., Deputy Director of the Project Delivery Branch of Seattle Utilities to attend with him. She has 26 years of experience in public utilities management for the City of Seattle.
