Our Commissioners
Jim Hill, Chairman
Operating a utility district isn't just about pipes and meters, HPUD Commissioner Jim Hill has learned, it's about promising quality service and a better community for customers to live in. Hill is excited to be a part of the positive changes happening within HPUD's corporate culture, repositioning the company as a modern-progressive utility district and a good corporate citizen.

Kevin Julian, Secretary
Kevin Julian serves as the Secretary to the Board and was appointed in the Fall of 2007. The different perspective that he brings to the Board has proven to be very helpful in guiding the District to meet all it's unique challenges. Julian was quoted shortly after his appointment as stating, “I was honored to be asked and I thought I could help our community.”
Having lived here since childhood, Julian has an understanding of the customer base that can offer a unique advantage. His exposure to the community becomes increasingly more involved while balancing his position as Halls High School Football Coach. Julian is committed to being the best not only for his team, but also Hallsdale Powell.
Sandy Liford, Treasurer
Sandra "Sandy" Liford is the newest Board member and is the first female commissioner in the District's 55-year history. Sandy is a teacher at Powell Elementary and she and her husband also own and operate the Cedar Grove Marina and Campground on Norris Lake. Sandy and her husband Scott, along with their business partner, have transformed a very old and established marina into a successful business venture.
