Firefighters to receive Hepatitis A shots
The regular February meeting of the Butterfield City Council was held Monday evening, February 10, with all members in attendance, including Council Member Howard Madson via teleconference. At the meeting Council Member Nick Mathistad noted that Watonwan County will be installing a larger recycling shed in its current location, and queried his fellow members whether the Butterfield-Odin After-Prom Aluminum Can Bin could be moved to a different location to ensure there would be plenty of room for the larger shed. The council felt that moving the can bin would not be a problem.
Prepping for innoculations
Council Member Mathistad also informed the council that at a recent firefighter training, the Butterfield Fire Department learned that all members were required to receive Hepatitis A shots. The innoculations will be done in the near future, possibly at a monthly meeting of the department.
