Treasurer warns of brief office closure; sheriff urges more transit stops to aid access
Summary
Woodbury County treasurer told supervisors a water outage will close the main treasurer's office until noon tomorrow and the sheriff asked the board to press the city to add transit stops near key service sites. Both items were raised during the public‑comment portion of the meeting.
Woodbury County Treasurer (self‑identified in the record as "Team Bertrand") told the board construction on 8th Street will interrupt water service and force the county treasurer’s office to close until noon the next day; the treasurer said the Anthon office will remain open for in‑person needs and that staff cannot work from home because county software requires a state VPN.
Sheriff Chad Sheehan reported he had taken a transportation concern to the Sioux City council and asked the board to coordinate via the LAC authority to pursue adding transit stops near the LEC, the trailer court and the Agape Center. Sheehan said the city council appeared receptive and urged Supervisor Dietrich, the county representative on the LAC authority, to place the matter on a future agenda or to let the sheriff attend meetings to press for a solution.
Both items were raised as citizen concerns and announcements; no board action was taken during the meeting on either operational closure or the transit‑stop request.
