Morgan City’s Clark Crook honored with award

Morgan City’s power department foreman Clark Crook has once again been recognized for his achievements. On March 26 he was presented with a plaque honoring him for four years of service as Intermountain Power Superintendents Association chair from March 2018 to March 2022.

Crook expressed appreciation for the support he has received from City Manager Ty Bailey and city officials.

“What I do appreciate is the fact that Ty supported us and you guys support us in doing this because it takes quite a bit of time. You’re gone quite a bit and then you’ve got whatever meetings you’ve got to go to,” he said. “You can't do it without good support.”

Clark also praised city officials for ensuring the crews have the safety equipment they need and the culture at the city that supports safe practices.

Mayor Steve Gale presented the award to Crook.

“It’s all of us working together, and I appreciate that you don't take things for granted and you take it seriously every time you get up in the air,” he told Crook. 

Councilmember Tony London also praised Crook and the Morgan City team.

“Coming from an industry that looked at LTI [loss time incidents] where my occupation was, five years without an LTI is very impressive,” he said. “That is to be commended so congratulations on that.”

In December Crook, who has more than 27 years’ experience in the power industry, was named Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems Employee of the Year. λ
