 Harold Schiebout earns APPA Harold Kramer-John Preston Personal Service Award
Harold Schiebout, director of government relations and special projects for Sioux Center, Iowa, Municipal Utilities, received the American Public Power Association’s (APPA) Harold Kramer-John Preston Personal Service Award at the Association’s national conference in Orlando, Fla. This award recognizes service to APPA through substantial contributions toward Association goals.

Schiebout began his career with the City of Sioux Center in 1959 as line foreman. Over the next 46 years, he served the city in various capacities including 32 years as utilities manager and 11 years as city manager. Since his retirement in 2005, he has assisted the City of Sioux Center with a variety of special projects and continues to serve as the City’s member representative to MRES.

Nationally, his work includes more than 30 years as an active representative to APPA on behalf of Sioux Center. That service includes terms on the APPA Board of Directors, the APPA Executive Committee, and the DEED Board of Directors. In 1991 he won APPA’s James D. Donovan Individual Achievement Award.

While Schiebout was in the beginning stages of his long public power career, the organization that is, today, Missouri River Energy Services (MRES), was formed in Sioux Center. Since 1975, he has served on the MRES Board of Directors, and since 1986, he has served as that Board’s chairman. His contributions have helped lead MRES to become one of the nation’s leading, most well-respected joint-action agencies. He also continues to be an active participant in APPA’s Legislative Rally, and other advocacy efforts. He is a long-time member of the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities’ Legislative and Regulatory Committee and currently serves as that committee’s chair. In addition, he maintains his long association with the Mid-West Electric Consumers Association, a regional coalition of consumer-owned utilities that purchase power from federal projects in the Missouri River Basin.
