As has become a norm for the Jefferson City Council, the meeting opened with discussions of the former Jefferson High School building. Previously, the high school and the gymnasium were red-tagged for demolition.

The property located at 31798 475th Ave., Elk Point was declared a nuisance by the Union County Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on April 16. The owners are Richard and Wanda Jilderda.

After careful consideration, the Elk Point City Council decided they would take down the ash trees throughout the city, instead of treating them. This is in relation to the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB), which infests the ash trees and ends up killing the tree. EAB has been detected in nearby communities including Dakota Dunes, Sioux Falls, Worthing, Canton and Lennox.
