Police, street, water and parks reports filed at Jefferson council meeting

The Jefferson City Council reviewed reports from police, street, water/wastewater and parks departments at its Jan. 5 meeting.

Police Chief Dustin Sharkey's written report (kept on file at City Hall) lists six verbal traffic warnings, two transports from Sioux Falls to Jefferson, a threats call, a hit-and-run involving a mailbox, multiple agency assists, two medical calls and two found animals returned to owners. The street department reported plowing, sanding and that the Dodge 550 dump box is back in service. Water and wastewater operations were reported as normal with multiple locates and two repaired water leaks at the water plant. The parks report noted two broken cameras on City Hall and one nonworking camera by the Lincoln Street lift station; the city has obtained a quote and is seeking a second vendor.

The minutes record these reports as informational; no new ordinances or formal directives are recorded. The police report and other departmental notes are retained on file by the city finance officer or department leads.
