FORT PIERRE — Fort Pierre officials are scrambling to find new space to store city shop equipment. Finance Officer Roxanne Heezen says the space they currently rent can’t be used any longer…
Heezen says they’d like to try and keep critical equipment in Fort Pierre and not store that in Pierre if possible. Public Works Director Rick Hahn says some of the city’s equipment needs a climate controlled place to call home…
Hahn says plows need to be removed from the loaders before they are put inside. That means city crews need to reinstall the plows to clear streets generally at night in low visibility creating a dangerous situation for city workers. Mayor Gloria Hanson says shop space has been on the list for a while…
Councilman Larry Cronin suggested the city look at possibly renting space from Stanley County and their new shop. Councilman Scott Deal says the County shop is already full of county equipment.
